Sean Strickland spends day in Newport Beach trying to confront Chimaev

Sean Strickland spent an entire day in Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev currently trains, attempting to arrange a confrontation. Strickland continuously tagged his location on social media stories throughout the day, noting he was just ten minutes from Chimaev's gym. He addressed Chimaev's previous comments about trying to kill him on the street, stating that fighters who train with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his location tags. Strickland expressed disappointment that Chimaev did not show up despite being nearby, and warned that Chimaev picked the wrong person in America to threaten.
