A longtime UFC veteran that scored one of the most incredible knockouts in the promotion's history will be in action this weekend at UFC 319.

UFC will host a pay-per-view event at Chicago’s United Center, with a middleweight title bout highlighting the card.

Those efforts finally materialized in a fight offer on the DWTNCS, during a face-to-face meeting between White, Newell and agent Ali Abdelaziz in Las Vegas.

The UFC middleweight championship wasn't built for Dricus du Plessis, he took it by force. That honor seemed reserved for Khamzat Chimaev, whom many deemed a future champion early on.

UFC fighter Mohammad Yahya suffered a gruesome eye injury during his bout against Steven Nguyen on the preliminary card of UFC's Abu Dhabi event.

UFC 319 will feature Dricus du Plessis entering the ring to defend his UFC middleweight title for the third time as Khamzat Chimaev challenges.
