Chimaev (15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) dominated Dricus Du Plessis (23-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) on the ground en route to a unanimous decision win in Saturday's main event at United Center in Chicago. Chimaev had over 21 minutes of control time on Du Plessis, and was showered with boos from the fans several times throughout the fight.

After successful defenses against both Israel Adesanya and Sean Strickland, the South African was looking to get past his tallest hurdle to date in unbeaten phenom Khamzat Chimaev. Despite his pre-fight confidence, the champ ultimately failed in that goal, with Chimaev dominating Du Plessis at UFC 319.

Now, the latest target of his criticism is the newly-crowned UFC middleweight champion, Khamzat Chimaev. During a recent live stream with social media personality Sneako, Diaz went off on a rant when discussing his opinion on the undefeated champion.

UFC legend Michael Bisping has explained why Khamzat Chimaev being UFC middleweight champion is a nightmare for the rest of the division.

Getty/UFC Arman Tsarukyan advised Khamzat Chimaev against striking at UFC 319. Chimaev challenged Dricus Du Plessis for the middleweight title in the main event at UFC 319 last weekend in Chicago. Tsarukyan was a part of Chimaev's camp under head coach Sam Calavitta and also served as his cornerman.

In the main event of UFC 319, Khamzat Chimaev dethroned Dricus Du Plessis in a dominating performance from beginning to end. The new middleweight champion takes the No. 1 spot in the 185-pound division, bumping Du Plessis down to No. 2.
