<\/p>\nOne MMA legend is baffled by the reaction to Khamzat Chimaev\u2019s dominant UFC 319 showing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chimaev controlled Dricus du Plessis for nearly 22 of the 25 minutes they shared the Octagon this past Saturday. It was a grappling clinic in favor of \u201cBorz.\u201d<\/a> Chimaev searched for chokes, but he settled for ground control on his way to a unanimous decision victory and his first UFC title win, capturing the middleweight championship.<\/p>\n While many were in awe of Chimaev\u2019s blowout win, others groaned at the performance. Some have said they aren\u2019t interested in Chimaev\u2019s next fight due to the lack of excitement.<\/p>\n Former UFC and ONE Championship icon Demetrious Johnson took to his YouTube channel<\/a> to suggest that those fans should watch another combat sport (via MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cIf you guys don\u2019t want to watch grappling and wrestling and jiu-jitsu, don\u2019t watch UFC,\u201d Johnson said on his YouTube channel. \u201cGo watch ONE Championship, go watch Lion Fighting, go watch Glory, go watch kickboxing, go watch muay Thai, right? It\u2019s very simple. You guys are complaining about something that\u2019s a very simple problem to fix.<\/p>\n \u201cFor example, let\u2019s say Khamzat\u2019s about to fight again, you don\u2019t want to watch his style, all you\u2019ve got to do is go like this, you see this button right here? It\u2019s called \u2018off\u201d button. You don\u2019t have to see Khamzat wrestle. It\u2019s a very simple problem to fix. You guys are making it a bigger deal than it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
