Anthony Hernandez believes he can dethrone newly-crowned UFC middleweight champ Khamzat Chimaev.
Chimaev challenged Dricus Du Plessis for the title in the main event at UFC 319 on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. In a dominant display of grappling, “Borz” took down Du Plessis in the opening seconds of every round and established a control time of nearly 22 minutes. The undefeated Chechen was crowned the new champion via unanimous decision after five rounds.
While Hernandez congratulated Chimaev on the win, he wasn’t impressed with the fight. “Fluffy” believes he has the tools to stand his own on the mat against Chimaev.
