UFC 319 Main Card Results & Fight Breakdowns

🏆 Main Event: Dricus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev – Middleweight Showdown

Result: Khamzat Chimaev def. Dricus du Plessis via TKO (Round 4, 2:18)

The fight everyone had been waiting for did not disappoint. From the opening bell, Chimaev came out like a man possessed, pressuring du Plessis with his signature wrestling and heavy hands. “Stillknocks” showed incredible durability, surviving early takedowns and firing back with his unorthodox striking.

By Round 4, Chimaev’s relentless pace wore down du Plessis, leading to a vicious ground-and-pound finish that forced the referee to step in. With this win, Chimaev cements himself as the next middleweight title challenger, likely facing the winner of Adesanya vs. Strickland 2.

🔥 Co-Main Event: Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili – Bantamweight Title Eliminator

Result: *Merab Dvalishvili def. Sean O’Malley via Unanimous Decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47)*

In a high-paced, grappling-heavy affair, Merab Dvalishvili proved why he’s one of the most relentless fighters in the UFC. Despite O’Malley’s slick striking and submission attempts, Dvalishvili’s wrestling and cardio were too much, as he secured seven takedowns across five rounds.

This win likely sets up Merab for a title shot against the winner of Cejudo vs. Sterling 3, while O’Malley will need to regroup after his second career loss.

A potential Fight of the Night candidate, this lightweight scrap had fans on their feet. Gaethje’s leg kicks and brawling style clashed with Tsarukyan’s technical striking and grappling. In the end, Tsarukyan’s control time and late-round surges earned him a razor-close decision.

With this win, Tsarukyan is now in title contention, while Gaethje may be looking at one last run at gold.
