Strickland spent day in Newport Beach near Chimaev's gym seeking confrontation

Sean Strickland spent an entire day in Newport Beach, California, the location where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training. Strickland deliberately tagged his location throughout the day on social media, hoping to encounter Chimaev's team after Chimaev allegedly said he would try to kill Strickland on the street. Strickland was located just ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and believes fighters training with Chimaev saw his stories since they follow him. He expressed that he expected Chimaev to show up but was disappointed when he didn't. Strickland stated he is the last person in America that Chimaev should be confronting.
