UFC cancels Chimaev-Strickland faceoff, increases security for UFC 328

The UFC has decided not to hold a faceoff between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland at the pre-fight press conference. The promotion is strengthening security measures due to concerns about potential disturbances. This decision suggests the UFC anticipates heightened tensions between the two fighters. The cancellation of the traditional staredown is an unusual precautionary measure.
