Arman Tsarukyan advised Khamzat Chimaev against striking at UFC 319.
Chimaev challenged Dricus Du Plessis for the middleweight title in the main event at UFC 319 last weekend in Chicago. Tsarukyan was a part of Chimaev’s camp under head coach Sam Calavitta and also served as his cornerman. Chimaev took Du Plessis down and ragdolled him for five rounds to earn a dominant unanimous decision win. Tsarukyan revealed that Chimaev wanted to strike with “Stillknocks” going into the fourth stanza. However, “Ahalkalakets” didn’t want Chimaev to risk anything, as the game plan was working to perfection.
