Golub shared his strategic breakdown and final prediction for the highly anticipated matchup.\n\nGolub anticipates Chimaev will launch an immediate, aggressive offensive from the opening bell. He expects the champion to press forward relentlessly, seeking an early takedown to establish top control and work towards a quick submission finish. This explosive start is seen as Chimaev's primary path to dominance in the early stages of the fight.\n\nHowever, Golub highlights Strickland's formidable defensive skills and unorthodox fighting style as a major obstacle. He believes Strickland will employ a tactical, patient approach, aiming to neutralize Chimaev's wrestling pressure and prevent the champion from settling into a comfortable position on the ground. Strickland's game plan will focus on making the fight uncomfortable and draining for his opponent.\n\nThe critical turning point, according to Golub, will arrive if Strickland survives the initial onslaught and avoids a first-round finish. Should the fight extend beyond the opening five minutes, Golub predicts Chimaev will begin to show signs of fatigue, a pattern observed in some of his previous longer bouts. This is where the tide could turn.\n\nIn the later stages, Golub foresees Strickland taking control with his signature tools. He expects the American to methodically attack with his sharp jab and disruptive front kicks, targeting Chimaev's body to sap his energy and breathing. This sustained pressure is designed to frustrate the champion and shift the momentum decisively in Strickland's favor during the championship rounds.\n\nDespite this projected late surge from Strickland, Golub's final verdict favors the champion. He believes Chimaev's explosive power and superior grappling pedigree will ultimately be the difference. Even if Chimaev tires, Golub feels his wrestling ability will allow him to secure crucial moments, control Strickland on the mat when needed, and do enough to sway the judges.\n\nTherefore, Golub's official prediction is a victory for Khamzat Chimaev by decision. He acknowledges the potential for a grueling fight but trusts that Chimaev's early aggression and key grappling exchanges will earn him the points necessary to retain his UFC middleweight championship.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Russian boxer Alexei Golub forecasts a challenging fight for UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev against Sean Strickland, predicting a decision win for Chimaev despite potential cardio issues in later rounds.","328204263501074433","326135624887177216","Championship","0","2026-05-08T14:00:07Z","russian-heavyweight-predicts-tough-championship-rounds-for-chimaev-in","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fboxing\u002Fnews-6460606-golub-chempionskie-raundy-stanut-dlya-chimaeva-adom.html","326222707169431552","Anderlecht",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326257539962376192","326257579615326208","326257580840062976","326257613643714560","326257615342407680","326257702739120128","326257766752587776",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Como","Consadole Sapporo","Matsumoto Yamaga","Hassania Agadir","FC Winterthur","FK Jablonec","Fortaleza EC","Russian Heavyweight Predicts Tough Championship Rounds for Chimaev in Strickland Bout",[76,116,146,178],{"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",[83,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,56],"326222711401484288","326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255039846813696","326255041625198592","326257536296554496","326257536413995008","326257537865224192","326257539844935680","326257664680005632","326257696636407808","326222711447621632","326222711569256448","326222711653142528",[84,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,57],"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.
