Sean Strickland spent day in Newport Beach trying to confront Khamzat Chimaev

Sean Strickland traveled to Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, in an apparent attempt to confront him. Throughout the day, Strickland posted his location on social media stories, hoping Chimaev's team would see and arrange a meeting. Strickland referenced Chimaev's previous comments about trying to kill him on the street, stating he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym all day. He noted that fighters who train with Chimaev follow him on social media and should have seen his posts. Strickland expressed disappointment that Chimaev didn't show up, saying he was the last guy in America Chimaev should be calling out. The post suggests Strickland was waiting for Chimaev to come find him, but no confrontation occurred.
