The UFC will not hold a traditional face-off between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland at their press conference due to security concerns. The promotion is increasing security presence because of fears of potential disturbances. This decision suggests the UFC anticipates heightened tensions between the two fighters. The unusual measure reflects either past incidents or anticipated volatility given the fighters' personalities. No details are provided about whether this applies to the weigh-in or only the press conference.
