UFC cancels Chimaev-Strickland face-off, increases security over disorder concerns

The UFC has decided not to hold a face-off between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland at the press conference for their upcoming fight. The promotion has made this decision due to concerns about potential chaos or disorder breaking out between the two fighters. As a precautionary measure, the UFC will be increasing security presence at the event. This is an unusual move that suggests the promotion is taking the threat of a physical confrontation seriously given the personalities and history involved.
