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

The UFC has decided not to hold a traditional face-off between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland at their pre-fight press conference. The promotion is increasing security measures due to concerns about potential disorder or violent incidents. This decision suggests the UFC anticipates heightened tensions between the two fighters and their camps. The lack of details in the post means the specific security concerns or incidents that prompted this precautionary measure remain unclear.
