For Du Plessis, Saturday's headline bout marks his return to the Octagon after he was dethroned by Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319 last summer.

After producing a valiant performance in defeat against Chimaev in 2023 having stepped in on short notice, Usman dropped back down to 170lbs with a impressive win over surging contender Joaquin Buckley.
With both fighters looking to book a rematch with current champion Sean Strickland, we've taken a look at the latest odds.
