Tsarukyan predicted Chimaev would submit Strickland in round one

Arman Tsarukyan made a bold prediction during Dana White's live broadcast before the UFC 328 main event. Tsarukyan stated that Khamzat Chimaev would submit Sean Strickland in the first round. The prediction ultimately did not come true, as the fight went the full five rounds and Strickland won by split decision. Tsarukyan's confidence in Chimaev's grappling prowess proved overly optimistic given how the bout unfolded.
