Du Plessis vs. Usman
Paycom Center · Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Two former champions crash into each other with title relevance on the line: Dricus du Plessis in his first fight since losing the middleweight belt to Khamzat Chimaev, against Kamaru Usman, the 39-year-old former welterweight king betting his legacy on a 185-pound run.
Underneath: Jared Cannonier defends his ranking at 42 against surging Brit Christian Leroy Duncan, and a prelim slate stacked with undefeated Contender Series prospects.
