Former UFC title contender Paulo Costa commented on Hamzat Chimaev’s victory over Dricus du Plessis.

Today, in the main event of UFC 319 in Chicago, USA, Chimaev defeated du Plessis by unanimous decision and became the new champion of the division up to 83.9 kg.

"Boring. The Chechen is boring, screw that guy. I’d rather play poker. No one wants to see this rubbish. People are booing the fight at the arena and the bar. On the other hand, I’m completely satisfied — I’m going after the Chechen gourmet," Costa wrote on X.
