  • Dricus Du Plessis has the highest payouts at UFC 319 with $3.8 million.
  • Khamzat Chimaev defeated Du Plessis to become the new UFC middleweight champion.
  • Four fighters earned an additional $50,000 for the Performance of the Night award.

A new UFC middleweight champion was crowned last Aug. 16 in the main event of UFC 319, as Khamzat Chimaev dominated Dricus Du Plessis for five rounds with his superior grappling skills that saw him win a lopsided unanimous decision victory inside the United Center in Chicago.

Chimaev proved that he’s the considerable betting favorite in the UFC odds boards with a grappling clinic throughout the championship battle, as Du Plessis had no answer to his relentless offense.

This dominant performance earned “Borz” an additional $50,000 bonus for the Performance of the Night award. Aside from Chimaev, Lerone Murphy, Carlos Prates, and Tim Elliott also received the POTN honors.
