Khamzat put on a masterclass in dominance

Dricus won this fight under PRIDE rules

Actually made the attempt to finish the fight in the 5th with the RNC while Khamzat just hugged the whole fight

Under PRIDE rules he would be deemed the winner just for attempting to finish the fight while Khamzat would have been issued yellow cards and possibly DQ due to just stalling & holding Dricus on ground and not trying to finish the fight

Only "offense" that Khamzat did was just holding Dricus on the ground and some "brutal" knees to the thigh of Dricus

Under the pussified UFC rules though, Khamzat won

Even the crowd was booing all that hugging and cheered when Dricus locked in the RNC which officially was the only sub attempt according the UFC stats

Khamzat fans who are defending this hugfest better keep up that same energy when other huggers in the UFC do this
This is nonsense, unfortunately. Chimaev was constantly looking for openings and trying to make openings and invite mistakes while maintaining position and control first. This is how you play the game at a high level, and even under Pride rules this would not have changed because they would've realized he was advancing positions the whole time then stabilized in ideal positions, such as the crucifix.
