The coach of Khamzat Chimaev remained largely silent during the UFC 319 Fight Week, but he sustained after the dominant performance of his husband.
Chimaev completed his trip to UFC Gold as an undefeated hunter in Chicago last Saturday evening, and his victory was rarely doubted from minute one.
Dricus Du Plessis was dominated by Chimaev for the best part of 25 minutes, with the one -sided trend of the main event being determined by a Takedown in the first seconds of the first round.
From that moment on to the end, the South African had no answer to the smothering ground game of the Chechen star. In addition to the talents and training of Chimaev, the coach of the newly crowned champion thinks that also has to do with bad advice on the side of Du Plessis.
The coach of Khamzat Chimaev says that the person who has prepared the ground game of Dricus du Plessis must be fired
Not much has been able to tackle Chimaev's wrestling game. Even in Chimaev's most difficult test against Kamaru Usman, 'the Nigerian nightmare' just had to survive the attack early before he could gather.
But Du Plessis has still been fired because of his lack of resistance on the ground, and one of the coaches of Chimaev clearly thinks that the now formation champion did not have the right staff in his UFC 319 camp.
While spoke in a video on the YouTube channel of Daniel Cormier, coach Alan Nascimento remembered Du Plessis and his coach who claimed that they welcomed wrestling fights. The trained Van Chimaev suggested that the person who was in charge of preparing the South African on the ground should be fired.
“His coach said Du Plessis wants to fight on the floor and he would hit Khamzat on the floor,” said Nascimento.
“I was quiet. I believe that now, who prepared him to the ground, he is fired.
“It's my time to talk now,” he went on after laughter. “I was quiet all the time. I didn't say a word. I was just doing the work.
“Now I speak facts. If someone missed what happened, they can go back to UFC Fight Pass.”
Khamzat Chimaev broke almost a UFC gray preach record that has been 18 years old
Given the Dominance of Chimaev on UFC 319, it is no surprise that he broke a big record and came close to replying the performance in another category.
Chimaev landed an amazing 529 strikes on Du Plessis during the five-round match that saw him become champions and broke the Single-Fight UFC record. Making the statistics even more eye opening was the difference between the strikes of him and the defending champion, with the South African landing a measly 45 countries.
'Borz' landed almost all those shots while he was in a dominant struggle position, while he yielded a difficult for 21 minutes and 40 seconds control time.
Chimaev only placed that figure behind Sean Sherk for most control time in a UFC fight. 'The Muscle Shark' surpassed 22 minutes during his fight from 2007 against Hermes Franca to defend the lightweight title.
