Strickland spent day near Chimaev's gym trying to confront him

Sean Strickland revealed he spent an entire day in Newport Beach, California, the location where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, in an attempt to confront him. Strickland posted his location throughout the day on social media, knowing that people training with Chimaev follow him and would likely see the posts. Strickland stated he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and was responding to comments Chimaev allegedly made about trying to kill him on the street. Despite his public tagging and proximity, no confrontation occurred. Strickland emphasized he is the last person Chimaev should be threatening in America.
