UFC 319 Aftermath: The GSP Debate, Shanghai Picks,and Chimaev’s Future

The wait is finally over. Khamzat Chimaev didn’t just win the UFC middleweight title—he dominated Dricus du Plessis so completely that fans are already asking if anyone can stop this man. In 25 minutes of pure grappling supremacy, the undefeated Chechen-Swede made the previously unstoppable champion look helpless, ragdolling him through five rounds in a performance that left even seasoned MMA experts stunned.
“It was perfect. He lived up to the hype,” said one analyst. “We’ve been waiting to see if Khamzat could do it for a while… Khamzat completely dominated him on Saturday.”
But while grappling fans celebrated the technical masterpiece, the arena filled with boos from fans wanting more action. Sound familiar? The comparison to Georges St-Pierre’s controversial-yet-dominant reign is already being drawn—and just like GSP, Chimaev might be building toward superstar status whether casual fans appreciate his style or not.
Now the real questions begin: Who can challenge this seemingly unstoppable force? Will Sean Strickland get a shot despite his suspension? Can rising contenders like Nassourdine Imavov or Robert Whittaker provide a real threat? Plus, our expert panel breaks down this weekend’s UFC Shanghai card with bold betting picks—including a $20 parlay that could pay over $300.
The middleweight division has a new king, and the Khamzat era has officially begun. Find out what’s next…
