Strickland spends day in Newport Beach near Chimaev's gym, calls him out

Sean Strickland deliberately spent an entire day in Newport Beach, California, the location where Khamzat Chimaev currently trains. Throughout the day, Strickland repeatedly tagged his location on social media stories, hoping to encounter Chimaev's team. Strickland referenced something Chimaev allegedly said about trying to kill him on the street. He stated he was just ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and that people training with Chimaev follow him and would have seen his location tags. Strickland concluded that Chimaev should have known where he was and expressed disappointment that no confrontation occurred, stating he's the last guy in America Chimaev should be targeting.
