Khamzat Chimaev has revealed what he told Dricus Du Plessis during the main event of UFC 319 on Saturday, as the Russian took the middleweight title from the South African.

Chimaev, who has been billed as a future megastar since his UFC debut, finally captured gold at UFC 319, and the money followed. His payout from the event is believed to be between $1.8 and $2 million, the highest paycheck of his career so far.

Khamzat Chimaev defied all expectations with a five-round shutout over reigning champion Dricus du Plessis, making him the new middleweight champion. Ranked middleweights are scrambling to become the next challenger, and with Chimaev's new P4P status, he's a high-value target.

What prevented Khamzat Chimaev from finishing Dricus Du Plessis despite the utter domination? "A lot of mistakes," according to Kamaru Usman.
