Pereira said Strickland, a major underdog, must stay composed, defend takedowns and use his jab and front kick in Saturday's main event at Newark's Prudential Center.
The former middleweight and light heavyweight champion said training with Strickland after their own fight showed him Strickland was a warrior with strong experience and technical skill.
Strickland is 30-7 and Chimaev 15-0 entering the title fight, while Pereira prepares to face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight belt on 14 June in Washington.
Can Pereira's advice help Strickland overcome Chimaev's ferocious wrestling and undefeated record?
Will Chimaev's emotional control be the deciding factor in his high-stakes title defense against Strickland?
