LAS VEGAS – Caio Borralho has decided to refrain from making predictions about UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis’ fights. Borralho, who had previously criticized Du Plessis for his performance, is now impressed by Du Plessis’ consistent success, notably after his victory over Israel Adesanya at UFC 305.
Rumors suggest that Sean Strickland could be Du Plessis’ next opponent for the title, and Borralho seems to be favoring Strickland to emerge victorious in a potential rematch. Nevertheless, he acknowledges the unpredictable nature of MMA and admits that he has misjudged Du Plessis in the past.
Following his triumph over Jared Cannonier in the headline fight at UFC on ESPN 62, Borralho believes he has earned the right to challenge for the title. He is prepared to take on any top-ranked middleweight fighter to strengthen his claim as the top contender.
While he is eager for a title shot, Borralho is ready to face any opponent chosen by the UFC, entrusting the career guidance from Hunter Campbell and Dana White to steer him in the right direction.
