Sean Strickland spent yesterday in Newport Beach, California, the current training location of Khamzat Chimaev, after Chimaev allegedly said he would try to kill Strickland on the street. Throughout the day, Strickland tagged his location on social media stories, hoping to encounter Chimaev's team. He noted that fighters training with Chimaev follow him and would have seen his location posts, meaning Chimaev should have known where he was. Strickland stayed within ten minutes of Chimaev's gym all day, expecting a confrontation that never materialized. He stated he's "the last guy in America" Chimaev should mess with and expressed disappointment that no one showed up.
