The title fight, scheduled for May 10th at UFC 328 in Newark, USA, will see champion Khamzat Chimaev put his belt on the line against former champion Sean Strickland.\n\nTarasov expressed strong confidence in Chimaev's abilities, stating he cannot envision any fighter defeating a healthy version of the champion. He pointed to Chimaev's exceptional wrestling skills and supreme self-belief as the primary factors that make him a seemingly insurmountable challenge for anyone in the current UFC middleweight division.\n\nHowever, the manager was quick to note that Strickland presents a unique and unpredictable threat. Tarasov highlighted Strickland's remarkable knack for pulling off surprising victories, a quality that always gives him a chance in any fight. He referenced Strickland's past upset wins over top contenders like Nassourdine Imavov and Israel Adesanya as evidence of this dangerous capability.\n\nA key similarity Tarasov identified between the two fighters is their mental fortitude. He observed that both Chimaev and Strickland enter the Octagon without fear or the paralyzing sense of responsibility that can affect many athletes. This psychological strength, which Tarasov also noted in other elite Russian fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Petr Yan, allows them to perform at their peak under immense pressure.\n\nDespite this shared mental toughness, Tarasov believes a significant gap exists in grappling proficiency. He emphasized that Chimaev's wrestling pedigree is on another level, a factor he sees as the decisive difference in the matchup. This technical advantage, in his view, will be the cornerstone of Chimaev's strategy.\n\nBased on this assessment, Tarasov made a clear prediction for the fight's outcome. He has no doubt that Khamzat Chimaev will successfully defend his UFC Middleweight Championship for the first time, solidifying his reign at the top of the division.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","MMA manager Vitaly Tarasov believes a fully fit Khamzat Chimaev is unbeatable, but acknowledges Sean Strickland's unique ability to surprise. He predicts Chimaev's first successful title defense at UFC 328.","327796137744404481","326135624887177216","Championship","0","2026-05-07T11:00:08Z","manager-vitaly-tarasov-backs-healthy-khamzat-chimaev-to-defend-title-against","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fboxing\u002Fnews-6459520-tarasov-ne-veryu-chto-kto-to-smozhet-vyigrat-u-zdorovogo-hamzata-chimaeva.html","326257665107824640","Israel",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326222707169431552","326222713016291328","326222713142120448","326257539962376192","326257613643714560","326257623760375808","326257688390406144",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Anderlecht","USA","Canada","Como","Hassania Agadir","FC Anyang","2 de Mayo","Manager Vitaly Tarasov Backs Healthy Khamzat Chimaev to Defend Title Against Sean Strickland at UFC 328",[76,116,146,176],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":77,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":78,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":83,"teamName":84,"teamIds":85,"teamNames":100,"title":115},"Italy beat Spain 4-2 on penalties after 1-1 draw to set up a U17 European Championship final against Belgium, who eliminated France earlier.","338075747069464577","2026-06-04T19:28:40Z","italy-edge-spain-on-penalties-u17-euro-final-vs-belgium","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FL-italie-rejoint-la-belgique-en-finale-de-l-euro-des-moins-de-17-ans\u002F1681874#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257661500723200","Italy",[83,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,59],"326222711401484288","326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255039846813696","326255041625198592","326257536296554496","326257536413995008","326257537865224192","326257539844935680","326257664680005632","326257696636407808","326222711447621632","326222711569256448","326222711653142528",[84,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,67],"Belgium","Paraguay","Lesotho","FK Partizan","Partizani","Auxerre","Paris FC","Estoril","Parma","Estonia","Azzurri","France","Brazil","Spain","Italy Edge Spain on Penalties: U17 Euro Final vs Belgium",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":117,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":118,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":119,"slug":120,"sourceName":121,"sourceURL":122,"teamId":123,"teamName":124,"teamIds":125,"teamNames":135,"title":145},"Italy U17 edged Spain 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, goalkeeper Lupo saving two spot-kicks, to book a U17 Euro final vs Belgium on June 7.
