UFC 319 Bonus report: Carlos Prates One of the four POTN winners | Bjpenn.com

The Octagon invaded Chicago for the UFC 319 event tonight, and four hunters names on the implementing bonuses.

UFC 319 was led by a middleweight title fight with Dricus du Plessis who took the unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev. The match turned out to be a one-sided affair, because Chimaev du Plessis could dominate four straight rounds, while he used his superior struggle to overwhelm and control the South African. Although ‘DDP’ was able to assemble some attack in round five, it was not nearly enough to remedy the dominance that Khamzat Chimaev had brought forward in the first four rounds. After 25 minutes of action, Chimaev received a very deserved unanimous decision gain.

UFC 319 was co-head by an intriguing men’s featherweight matchup with Lerone Murphy who took on the former Bellator striking Aaron Pico. Although the American landed some large strokes in the opening minutes, it was nothing compared to the rotating elbow that ‘The Miracle’ landed to end the fight in the last seconds of the opening frame. Aaron Pico was broadcast cold and Lerone Murphy walked away with a huge victory.
