UFC 319 saw what appears to be the beginning of a new era at middleweight. Khamzat Chimaev absolutely dominated former champion Dricus Du Plessis in a manner that left no doubt about who was the superior combatant. Of course, Chimaev also managed to do so in a way that left the crowd booing late into their main event, keeping the damage to a minimum while focusing on control.
