Strickland calls out Chimaev after posting location near his gym in California

Sean Strickland was in Newport Beach, California, where Hamzat Chimaev is currently training. Throughout the day, Strickland posted his location on social media, hoping to meet with Chimaev's team after seeing comments that Chimaev said he would try to kill him on the street. Strickland stated he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and that fighters training with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his stories. He challenged Chimaev directly, saying he expected him to show up and that he is "the last guy in America you'd want to mess with." Chimaev did not appear at any of Strickland's posted locations.
