The main event of UFC Fight Night will feature Dricus du Plessis, who comes into the fight with a strong track record. Dricus is not only a former UFC middleweight champion, but also, despite his loss to Chimaev, he has secured 10 wins in his last 11 fights in the UFC. The South African fighter is one of the most lethal fighters today, as 20 of his 23 victories have come via submission or knockout.

In the other corner, Kamaru Usman has proven himself to be one of the most lethal fighters in the organization, although at 39 years old, he is not currently at the peak of his career, having won only 2 of his last 5 fights and finishing just one of his last 5 opponents. Furthermore, the Nigerian fighter is not competing at his usual weight class, as he has had to move up a weight class for this fight, a clear disadvantage.

Dricus du Plessis knows he's expected to win this fight, as he is in better shape and competing at his usual weight class, which gives him a significant advantage.
