Arman Tsarukyan recently shared details of Khamzat Chimaev\u2019s approach to fighting.<\/strong><\/p>\n Tsarukyan has been working alongside Chimaev ahead of the UFC middleweight champion\u2019s first title defense in Newark next month.<\/p>\n Chimaev\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n While the 2 men have trained together previously, it was recently revealed that \u2018Borz\u2019 is probably not as aware of his next opponent as some may expect.<\/p>\n Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev finally get the possibility to settle their bitter feud at Prudential Center, can the American beat the champ?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 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.<\/p>\n Arman Tsarukyan recently explained that he has taken inspiration from watching the best way that the undefeated middleweight champion prepares for fights.<\/p>\n He said that while he’ll watch footage to attempt to search for his opponent\u2019s tendencies, Chimaev entirely focuses on himself and in consequence, he\u2019s not been breaking down Strickland\u2019s style.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has a distinct mindset. He never watches his opponent\u2019s fights. He doesn\u2019t care what they\u2019re gonna do\u2026 This guy, he doesn\u2019t know even like what Strickland does or his opponents,\u201d Tsarukyan said on the PBD Podcast<\/a>. \u201cHe never watches them and he doesn\u2019t care what they\u2019re going to do. He cares what he\u2019s going to do to them. So, he has his own game plan just on what he\u2019s going to do. That\u2019s why he\u2019s different.\u201d<\/p>\n Sean Strickland is believed to have the striking advantage over Khamzat Chimaev.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 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.<\/p>\n That being said, it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n It seems highly unlikely that \u2018Borz\u2019 goes to step contained in the Octagon and be left dumbfounded by the best way that Strickland fights.<\/p>\n 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\u2019s going to do relatively than reacting to his opponent.<\/p>\nWho wins within the principal event of UFC 328 on May 9?<\/h3>\n
