Sean Strickland revealed he spent an entire day in Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, attempting to confront him.

He was located just ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and claims he expected Chimaev to show up.

Strickland stated he is "the last guy in America you would want to mess with" and expressed disappointment that Chimaev didn't appear despite being so close.
