Strickland challenges Chimaev after spending day near his training location

Sean Strickland spent an entire 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 stated he was responding to reports that Chimaev said he would try to kill Strickland on the street, calling himself "the last guy in America" Chimaev should mess with. Despite being just ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and expecting members of Chimaev's team to see his tagged stories, no confrontation occurred. Strickland expressed disappointment that Chimaev did not show up.
