UFC 319 is a wrap and Khamzat Chimaev is the brand new UFC middleweight champion after delivering a one-sided, grappling-heavy performance to beat Dricus du Plessis in the main event. With Chimaev finally realizing his goal of becoming a world champion, where does the undefeated phenomenon go in his first championship defense?

Khamzat Chimaev is finally a UFC champion. The undefeated Russian claimed the promotion's middleweight title in the main event of Saturday's UFC 319 card in Chicago, defeating Dricus Du Plessis by decision in one of the most dominant performances from a challenger in history.

Before DDP and Chimaev entered the cage, fans were delighted by back-to-back first-round spinning back elbow knockouts by undefeated featherweight Lerone Murphy and Carlos Prates against Aaron Pico and Geoff Neal, respectively. It is the first time in UFC history there have been two spinning back elbow victories on the same card.
