Sean Strickland 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. He addressed reports that Chimaev claimed he would try to kill Strickland on the street. Strickland stated he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym all day and made his locations public, expecting Chimaev to show up. He challenged Chimaev's street-fighting claims, saying he's the last guy in America Chimaev should mess with. Strickland expressed disappointment that Chimaev never appeared despite being nearby.
