The unbeaten star controlled Dricus du Plessis from start to finish, earning a unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the bout 50-44.White felt the fight lacked the back-and-forth action many expected, but he was impressed by Chimaev’s dominance. Speaking at the post-fight press conference, White said:"The lead up to this fight, I said, 'I bet the main event is the Fight of the Night.' I didn't see that coming, but not shocked either. The way that he dominated, if he could do it the first round, more likely you’re going to do it the second and throughout the rest of the fight."He added:"I had every round a 10-8, except maybe for the last round. To be in the position that he was in, and the crucifix and just getting dominated on the ground and getting punched on the face and elbowed, it's a frustrating place to be, and I thought he [du Plessis] handled it well. Every round, trying to get in the fight and win, yeah, impressive."
