Sean Strickland disclosed that he spent yesterday in Newport Beach, California, the location where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training. Throughout the day, Strickland tagged his location on social media stories, hoping to encounter Chimaev's team after hearing that Chimaev had said he would try to kill Strickland 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 location tags. He expressed disappointment that Chimaev did not show up, saying he believed Chimaev would come and declaring himself "the last guy in America" that Chimaev should mess with.
