Chael Sonnen includes Bo Nickal in his list of desired opponents for new UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev.
The dust has settled following UFC 319 in recent days, but heavy criticism still surrounds former champion Dricus du Plessis in his middleweight title loss.
An astonishing stat showed just how one-sided the UFC 319 main event was. Khamzat Chimaev landed over 500 punches, but he’s still facing criticism for being ‘boring’ in the aftermath of his career-best victory.
Chimaev (15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) dominated and outgrappled Dricus Du Plessis (23-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) to claim the middleweight title in Saturday's UFC 319 headliner at United Center in Chicago. Usman was one of the few fighters to pick Chimaev to win.
Khamzat Chimaev sets sights on Reinier De Ridder, aiming to defend his championship in a thrilling first title defense clash.
