Strickland visits Newport Beach near Chimaev's gym, challenges him to meet

Sean Strickland spent yesterday in Newport Beach, California, the same location where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training. Throughout the day, Strickland tagged his location on social media stories, hoping to encounter Chimaev's team. Strickland referenced comments where Chimaev allegedly said he would try to kill Strickland on the street, stating he was just ten minutes from Chimaev's gym. He noted that fighters training with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his location tags. Strickland called himself "the last guy in America" Chimaev should be picking on, expressing disappointment that Chimaev did not show up to confront him.
