Dricus du Plessis Faces Tough Test Against Kamaru Usman

Dricus du Plessis will face Kamaru Usman at UFC Oklahoma City.

What's at Stake?

The former middleweight titleholder Du Plessis returns to the Octagon after a loss to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319 last year.

Jorge Masvidal's Prediction

Jorge Masvidal believes Usman will make it look easy against Du Plessis, saying Usman can still contend for the belt.

Masvidal thinks Du Plessis is a dangerous fighter, but needs to fight a perfect fight to beat Usman.

Usman's Advantages

Usman's wrestling and control are areas where Du Plessis is lacking, according to Masvidal, who lost to Usman twice in their UFC careers.

Du Plessis will need to make dramatic changes to stop Usman's wrestling, Masvidal said.

The Upcoming Fight

The fight between Du Plessis and Usman will take place at UFC Oklahoma City, with Usman moving up to middleweight, and is seen as a potential No. 1 contender bout.

The outcome of the fight will be crucial for both fighters, with a win potentially leading to a title shot.

Du Plessis' Challenge

Du Plessis will need to use his heavy hands and athleticism to try and beat Usman, who is seen as the favorite to win.

The fight will be a tough test for Du Plessis, who is looking to bounce back from his loss to Chimaev.

Usman's experience and skill will make it difficult for Du Plessis to win, according to Masvidal.
