UFC cancels Chimaev-Strickland face-off, increases security

The UFC has decided not to hold a face-off between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland at their press conference. The promotion is increasing security measures because it fears potential disorder or confrontation between the two fighters. This decision suggests the UFC is taking precautions to avoid any incidents that could overshadow their upcoming fight. The league is concerned enough about possible chaos that it has opted to skip the traditional pre-fight staredown altogether. No further details about the event or date were provided in the report.
