UFC 279 highlights: Khamzat Chimaev dominates Kevin Holland for D’Arce choke finish

Khamzat Chimaev did what he could to erase the past few days with a dominant performance last night (Sat., Sept. 10, 2022) at UFC 279 live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, when “Borz” stopped Kevin Holland with a first-round submission (D’Arce choke).

Chimaev wasted no time rushing in and shooting for a takedown. He had Holland scrambling right away. “Big Mouth” did well to get back to his feet a few times, but Chimaev’s pressure was something to behold. Moments later, “Borz” was attacking the D’Arce choke and had Holland on the defense. A few adjustments later and Khamzat had the quick finish he was looking for.

It’s unknown at this time if this win will help dissolve some of the bad publicity Chimaev received this week. Chimaev was expecting to challenge for the UFC welterweight title with a win this weekend at UFC 279, but do you think the promotion should trust the undefeated fighter to make the 170-pound weight limit?
