Strickland says he was near Chimaev's gym, waited for confrontation

Sean Strickland spent time in Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, and publicly tagged his location throughout the day hoping to encounter Chimaev or his team. Strickland was responding to comments Chimaev allegedly made about wanting to kill him on the street. He stated 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 stories. Strickland expressed disappointment that Chimaev did not show up, adding that he is "the last guy in America" Chimaev should mess with. The post includes a direct quote from Strickland explaining his actions and mindset.
