UFC champion Khamzat Chimaev‘s UFC 319 performance has been praised by MMA media members Ariel Helwani and Petesy Carroll.
Last Saturday night, Khamzat Chimaev finally climbed to the top of the mountain in mixed martial arts. He defeated Dricus du Plessis to claim the UFC middleweight championship, and he did so in fairly dominant fashion. He controlled the fight from beginning to end, and while DDP had a few moments here and there, it was nowhere near good enough to ensure he kept held of the belt.
Instead, Khamzat Chimaev turned in the best performance of his career to date – depending on who you ask, of course.
