Strickland says he was near Chimaev's gym, challenges street encounter claim

Sean Strickland was in Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training. Strickland spent the day posting his location on social media stories, hoping to encounter Chimaev's team. He was responding to Chimaev's statement about potentially trying to kill him on the street. Strickland claims he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and that people training with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his location. He called himself the last guy in America that Chimaev should try to intimidate, expressing disappointment that no confrontation occurred.
