The UFC has decided not to conduct 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 disturbances or riots. This decision suggests the UFC anticipates heightened tensions between the two fighters that could escalate into physical confrontation. The matchup appears to be generating significant concern about maintaining order at promotional events.
