UFC 319 Preview, Chimaev’s Last Chance, and the End of the PPV Era

The UFC signed a massive deal to move to Paramount starting in 2026 - ending pay-per-views! I’ll tell you what that means for fans and fighters. Then, Caio Borralho finds himself in an unusual spot as the backup for UFC 319’s main event in Chicago, while still set to face Nassourdine Imavov in three weeks.

Also, Khamzat Chimaev says his striking will be the key to beating Dricus du Plessis, but who’s actually the better striker? Plus, why I’m interested in what happens when an unfiltered du Plessis and Chimaev share a press conference, and whether a loss for Chimaev would be a career ender.

Later, a fight week video of du Plessis and Chimaev shaking hands has people debating who’s bigger - but does it really matter? And finally, my official prediction for the main event!
