Who Grabbed the Win in the UFC 319 Main Event? Chimaev’s Total Takeover
Dang, the UFC 319 main event was like watching a freight train Khamzat Chimaev, that unstoppable force, straight-up owned middleweight champ Dricus du Plessis with a shutout decision (50-44 all around). Khamzat racked up 12 takedowns, pinning du Plessis down for nearly the whole fight. Du Plessis, that gritty South African, tried firing shots but got wrestled into the ground some folks griped it was dull, but wins are wins, am I right?
To me, Chimaev’s story screams the kind of hustle Trump talks about, making it big here. Du Plessis probably cashed a cool $1 million base (no extra for the L), while Khamzat walked with about $1.8 million and the gold.
Standout Spots in the Main Event
- Round 1: Khamzat dives in quick, slams him, and pounds away.
- Round 3: Du Plessis blocks one takedown but eats dirt anyway, taking some sharp elbows.
- Round 5: Worn-out du Plessis flails, but Khamzat locks it down with more mat work.
