UFC 319 is about to take place and once again, this is an event you won't want to miss as a combat sports fan.
Not only is the main event an incredibly exciting match-up, but the rest of the card also features multiple fights that promise plenty of action.
Main event: Dricus Du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev
Du Plessis might be the most unorthodox fighter on this planet. He seems to fight without a plan, without technique, and yet manages to win time and time again.
The current champion is an extremely aggressive fighter who gives his opponents barely any room to breathe. His fighting style and quick reactions make him one of the most popular fighters right now, and he's even become a walking meme.
Standing opposite him is perhaps the most feared opponent he could face in Khamzat Chimaev. The undefeated Chimaev is known for his extremely aggressive and dominant style.
He's taken every opponent to the ground within the first minute, where he completely overwhelms them.
But can he play the same game against the current champion? If the fight goes to the ground quickly, Chimaev could end it spectacularly.
If it goes to the 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds, there's a much better chance that Du Plessis will take over and control the fight.
After all, he's used to fighting 5 rounds, whereas Chimaev is used to finishing fights quickly.
Whether this fight is over in one minute or 25 minutes, it's guaranteed to be action-packed every second.
