Du Plessis vs. Usman anchors middleweight-heavy card

Du Plessis enters off his first UFC loss after Khamzat Chimaev took his middleweight title via decision at UFC 319 last August. The South African had strung together nine straight wins before that, capturing the belt and defending it twice. Usman, the former welterweight king, snapped a three-fight skid with a decision over Joaquin Buckley last June after sitting out 20 months.

Jared Cannonier meets Christian Leroy Duncan in the co-main event. Cannonier has lost three of his past four but remains a proven test for contenders, while Duncan brings a four-fight winning streak into his biggest opportunity yet.

The featured prelim showcases featherweight prospects Austin Bashi and Jose Delgado. Bashi bounced back from a debut loss with a first-round submission in his second outing, while Delgado has finished 10 of his 11 professional victories.

The full card includes 12 bouts across six weight classes, with Chase Hooper vs. Mitch Ramirez at lightweight and Tabatha Ricci vs. Fatima Kline in the women's strawweight division rounding out the main card attractions.
