Strickland spent day in Newport Beach hoping to confront Chimaev's team

Sean Strickland spent the day in Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, tagging his location throughout the day in hopes of encountering Chimaev or his team. Strickland was responding to comments Chimaev allegedly made about trying to kill him on the street. Strickland stated he was within ten minutes of Chimaev's gym and that fighters training with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his location tags. Strickland suggested Chimaev should not make street threats against him, calling himself the last person Chimaev should mess with in America. The post indicates Strickland was deliberately trying to provoke a confrontation.
