The UFC main card was one of the best of the year, with two spinning back elbow finishes and a dominant performance by new middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev.

Khamzat Chimaev’s teammate’s wish to fight at UFC 319 on four days notice was granted by the MMA mogul. Susurkaev’s super-quick turnaround allowed him to make a small slice of history against Nolan. Chimaev set the modern record for shortest time between UFC fights after picking up two wins in 10 days five years ago.

Khamzat Chimaev continued to brush off Paulo Costa. Costa (15-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is eager to fight with Chimaev after accusing him of sending his wife "nasty" messages on Instagram. Chimaev denied ever doing that, but Costa still insists on settling his grudge with him.

Khamzat Chimaev vows to honor his parents’ sacrifices, promising relentless dedication, hard work, and success to make them proud.

Nowadays, Jon Jones is toying with the idea of making a second heavyweight run, even though he’s now surrendered his title to Tom Aspinall. Another man who is currently chasing UFC gold is Khamzat Chimaev, who will be challenging Dricus du Plessis for the UFC middleweight championship at UFC 319 on Saturday night.

Let Khamzat Chimaev get past Dricus Du Plessis first. Then he'll think about what's next. He'll figure out Saturday ... on Saturday.

Jon Jones and Khamzat Chimaev are two of the most indomitable forces to ever enter the UFC Octagon. Since Jones announced his shocking retirement in June, Chimaev and many other top names are taking advantage of his absence in the pound-for-pound rankings.
