Du Plessis to return vs. Usman at UFC Oklahoma City

Dricus Du Plessis will make his return to the octagon on July 18 at UFC Oklahoma City, facing Kamaru Usman in a middleweight bout that headlines the card. Du Plessis lost the UFC middleweight championship at UFC 319 in August to Khamzat Chimaev via a one-sided decision, ending his reign after two successful title defenses. Usman, a former welterweight champion, will move up a weight class for the fight.
