Newly-crowned middleweight champion, Khamzat Chimaev, returned home to United Arab Emirates (UAE) following his Dricus du Plessis victory atop the UFC 319 pay-per-view (PPV) event last weekend in Chicago.

UFC commentator Michael Bisping has declared that the age of Khamzat Chimaev has officially begun following UFC 319.

The last UFC pay-per-view event of the summer produced a new champion and exciting opportunities for more fireworks to end 2025.

Khamzat Chimaev returned home to United Arab Emirates to a warm welcome from his community. Chimaev, who now calls Dubai home, delivered a lopsided performance against Dricus du Plessis in the main event of UFC 319 this past Saturday in Chicago.
