This is not only the first time fight fans are seeing du Plessis in action after he coughed up his 185-pound title against Khamzat Chimaev back at UFC 319, but it will also mark the first time Usman is competing at middleweight with a full camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Remember, Usman stepped in on short notice back at UFC 294 to fight Chimaev at 185 pounds. Usman lost via majority decision, but the veteran looked pretty damn good (albeit that was almost three years ago).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">On Friday, du Plessis and Usman successfully hit the 186-pound benchmark during early morning weigh ins (results <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-weigh-in-video\/457740\/ufc-oklahoma-early-weigh-ins-video-results-live-updates-du-plessis-vs-usman\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>).
