Sean Strickland calls out Khamzat Chimaev after visiting his training city

Sean Strickland traveled to Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, and spent the entire day tagging his location on social media hoping to encounter Chimaev's team. Strickland addressed reports that Chimaev had said he would try to kill him on the street, stating he was just ten minutes from Chimaev's gym all day. He pointed out that fighters who train with Chimaev follow him on social media and should have seen his stories. Strickland claimed he expected Chimaev to show up and warned he's the last guy in America Chimaev should be confronting. The encounter never materialized despite Strickland's public location sharing throughout the day.
