Khamzat Chimaev had Arman Tsarukyan in his corner at UFC 328, and Tsarukyan is standing by him after a disappointing loss.
In Saturdayâs main event at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., Sean Strickland won the UFC middleweight title for a second time after earning a split decision win over Chimaev in a back-and-forth five-round battle. Afterwards, Strickland and Chimaev appeared to squash their beef following a volatile pre-fight build, but Tsarkyan sounds like he isnât satisfied with how the scorecards played out.
âWe fought our hearts out tonight and everyone watching knows what really happened,â Tsarukyan wrote on Instagram. âHead up Champ. You will get your belt back soon.â
Though he didnât state it specifically, Tsarukyan appears to be criticizing the judging, which saw Eric Colon and Sal DâAmato score the fight 48-47 in Stricklandâs favor, giving him Rounds 2, 3, and 5. Judge Sue Sanidad had it 48-47 for Chimaev, giving him Rounds 1, 4, and 5.
Tsarukyan worked closely with Chimaev in the lead-up to his first title defense, so itâs not surprising he is siding with the now-former champion, who now looks to rebound following the first loss of his career. Chimaev won the belt with a lopsided decision win over Dricus du Plessisâwho has beaten Strickland in a pair of title fightsâat UFC 319 this past August, but struggled to maintain any consistent offense against the resilient Strickland.
Arman Tsarukyan expressed his belief that everyone knows the true outcome of the fight and encouraged Chimaev to keep his head up.
Sean Strickland won the fight by a split decision after a competitive five-round battle.
The fight was significant as it was for the UFC middleweight title, which Strickland reclaimed with his victory over Chimaev.
