Strickland tags Newport Beach location challenging Chimaev to street confrontation

Sean Strickland spent the day in Newport Beach, California, the city where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, deliberately tagging his location throughout the day on social media. Strickland stated he was responding to Chimaev's claim that he would try to kill him on the street. He emphasized being only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and that fighters training with Chimaev follow him and would have seen his stories. Strickland challenged Chimaev to come find him, saying he expected him to show up and calling himself the last guy in America Chimaev should mess with. Strickland concluded by saying Chimaev did not show up.
