Arman Tsarukyan claims Khamzat Chimaev never watches tape and doesn’t know what Sean Strickland does

Arman Tsarukyan recently shared details of Khamzat Chimaev’s approach to fighting.

Tsarukyan has been working alongside Chimaev ahead of the UFC middleweight champion’s first title defense in Newark next month.

Chimaev’s preparations were recently criticized by Sean Strickland ahead of their heated clash that is certain to only change into more tense because the fight gets closer.

While the 2 men have trained together previously, it was recently revealed that ‘Borz’ is probably not as aware of his next opponent as some may expect.

Who wins within the principal event of UFC 328 on May 9?

Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev finally get the possibility to settle their bitter feud at Prudential Center, can the American beat the champ?

Arman Tsarukyan praises Khamzat Chimaev’s tendency to only deal with himself in training camp

Sean Strickland admitted that Khamzat Chimaev got the higher of him after they grappled previously but training together and fighting are two very various things.

Arman Tsarukyan recently explained that he has taken inspiration from watching the best way that the undefeated middleweight champion prepares for fights.

He said that while he’ll watch footage to attempt to search for his opponent’s tendencies, Chimaev entirely focuses on himself and in consequence, he’s not been breaking down Strickland’s style.

“He has a distinct mindset. He never watches his opponent’s fights. He doesn’t care what they’re gonna do… This guy, he doesn’t know even like what Strickland does or his opponents,” Tsarukyan said on the PBD Podcast. “He never watches them and he doesn’t care what they’re going to do. He cares what he’s going to do to them. So, he has his own game plan just on what he’s going to do. That’s why he’s different.”

If Sean Strickland is capable of stop Khamzat Chimaev’s dominant wrestling, how much of a likelihood do you give him?🤔

Sean Strickland is believed to have the striking advantage over Khamzat Chimaev.

While some may reply that everybody knows what Strickland goes to do on account of his signature style, there are still details that could possibly be picked up on by watching tape.

That being said, it’s not only Chimaev that takes this approach, and he has coaches who will do this research and relay the knowledge to him through his training sessions.

It seems highly unlikely that ‘Borz’ goes to step contained in the Octagon and be left dumbfounded by the best way that Strickland fights.

Given his undefeated record and the way dominant his wrestling has been contained in the Octagon, it is smart that the champion would decide to put more emphasis on what he’s going to do relatively than reacting to his opponent.
