Top UFC middleweight contender Reinier De Ridder has a minor criticism of the dominant performance from Khamzat Chimaev over former champion Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 319. While the Dutch former ONE MMA champion had high praise for the dominant display from Chimaev, he did have one criticism for the champion Chechen.
“One criticism of what Khamzat did was he didn’t seem to take a lot of chances. He did get trapped in that crucifix. Credit to Dricus, he dug his head in the shoulder, so he couldn’t really get range.
