Sean Strickland spent the day in Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, repeatedly tagging his location on social media in hopes of encountering Chimaev or his team. Strickland referenced Chimaev's previous statement about trying to kill him on the street and challenged him to show up. He stated he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and that fighters training with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his posts. Strickland called himself "the last guy in America" that Chimaev should be threatening, expressing disappointment that no confrontation materialized.
