UFC cancels Chimaev-Strickland face-off, increases security fearing chaos

The UFC has decided not to hold a traditional face-off between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland at the press conference. The promotion will enhance security measures for the event due to concerns about potential disturbances or violence. The decision reflects the UFC's assessment that a confrontation between the two fighters could lead to uncontrollable situations. No face-off will occur as a preventive measure. The move indicates the promotion is taking the threat of disorder seriously ahead of their matchup.
