# Mixed martial arts: South African fighter Dricus du Plessis hopes to start his journey back to the UFC middleweight world title in Sunday’s fight against Nigerian-American Kamara Usman in the US city of Oklahoma. He defended his belt twice before succumbing to Russian Khamzat Chimaev in August last year. Thirty-two-year-old Du Plessis believes victory over Usman won’t be enough to earn him a world title fight, but will grab the UFC bosses’ attention by giving a performance that eliminated any doubt that he’s the best in the world.
