The wrestling game of Chimaev was simply too much for Du Plessis (23-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) to handle. After 25 minutes, the judges turned in unanimous scores of 50-44 to crown Chimaev as the new 185-pound champion.
UFC 319 has the potential to be one of the most electrifying PPV cards of the year, complete with well-matched fights on the undercard. Headlining the event is Middleweight king Dricus du Plessis, gearing up for his third title defense against the unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev.
