Du Plessis Accuses Usman of Stalling UFC Oklahoma City Clash

Du Plessis Accuses Usman of Stalling UFC Oklahoma City Clash

South African star Dricus Du Plessis says he’s ready to return, but he claims his next opponent hasn’t signed on the dotted line. He took to Instagram to suggest that someone verbally agreed to fight but is dragging their feet on the contract. Rumours have linked him to former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for the July 18 headline at UFC Oklahoma City. Du Plessis hasn’t competed since losing his middleweight title to Khamzat Chimaev last August, but he remains in the title picture after wins over Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker and Sean Strickland. Usman, fresh off a unanimous decision win over Joaquin Buckley, has yet to respond publicly. Fans are still waiting on the promotion to make it official.

Do you think Usman is really dragging his feet on signing, or is this just clever promo by Du Plessis to hype the fight?

I agree, seems like Du Plessis is playing mind games to hype this fight rather than real stalling.

It seems unusual for a verbal agreement to leak on Instagram before contracts are signed and sealed.

Maybe Du Plessis missed a chance to push for clarity privately instead of airing frustrations on social media.

Both fighters should have legal teams handle contract talks directly and keep fans updated with official announcements.
