Strickland challenges Chimaev's team in Newport Beach, no confrontation occurs

Sean Strickland spent the day in Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev currently trains, deliberately tagging his location throughout the day in hopes of encountering Chimaev's team. Strickland was responding to reports that Chimaev said he would try to kill Strickland on the street. Strickland was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and claims fighters who train with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his stories. Despite his presence and public location tags, no meeting occurred. Strickland stated he's the last guy in America that Chimaev should be trying to intimidate.
