Sean Strickland spent day in Newport Beach near Chimaev's gym seeking confrontation

Sean Strickland deliberately visited Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, in an apparent attempt to confront Chimaev's team. Strickland tagged his location throughout the day on social media, stating he was responding to Chimaev's comments about trying to kill him on the street. Strickland claimed he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and that fighters training with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his posts. He expressed that he expected Chimaev to show up and declared himself the last guy in America that Chimaev should mess with.
