Khamzat Chimaev earned more than just the gold when he secured a unanimous decision over Dricus du Plessis in the main event of UFC 319.

Getty/UFC Dricus Du Plessis simply had no answers for Khamzat Chimaev’s wrestling. The South African’s middleweight championship reign ended in lopsided fashion at UFC 319, as Du Plessis was grounded repeatedly in a unanimous decision defeat at the United Center in Chicago on Saturday night.

Chimaev (15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) joined an exclusive group of names to win undisputed gold with an undefeated record when he earned a METHOD victory over Du Plessis in the headliner at UFC Apex in Chicago. As a result, "The Wolf" starts a new era where, if he can keep healthy and compete regularly, has much potential for excitement.
