CHICAGO -- Khamzat Chimaev may not have made many new fans with his dominant win over Dricus du Plessis in the main event of UFC 319 on Saturday, but the top title challenger is taking home the UFC middleweight championship after winning a lopsided decision with a smothering grappling performance.

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.

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?
