Yeah it's tough to watch. Not very entertaining for the average fan. Chimaev even had DDP in the crucifix multiple times and hardly inflicted any damage or punishment. Technically a guy is allowed to out wrestle and out grapple another fighter, but it's boring as all hell after one round of it. Then you sit and watch 4 more rounds of one guy smothering the other while barely doing any damage.
Chimaev played to his strengths and did what he had to in order to dominate and become champion, but a very small set of MMA fans want to watch that crap for 25 minutes.
