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 the press conference due to concerns about potential disorder. The promotion is reportedly increasing security measures to prevent any incidents. The decision reflects the UFC's anticipation of tensions between the two fighters given their public exchanges. This move is unusual for a major UFC event but suggests the organization is taking precautions. The fight between Chimaev and Strickland remains scheduled, but promotional activities will be modified.
