Khamzat Chimaev left ‘Chi-Town’ with two belts.
After delivering one of the most dominant performances in UFC history, Chimaev was crowned the new middleweight champion, ending Dricus Du Plessis’ title reign 19 months after it began. But that’s not the only thing Chimaev accomplished. Borz’ was also awarded his BJJ black belt after pinning ‘DDP’ to the mat for more than 21 minutes of their five-round affair.
In the past, former lightweight king Islam Makhachev has called out fighters for receiving black belts without fully earning them.
