Strickland spends day in Newport Beach near Chimaev's gym, calls him out

Sean Strickland spent an entire day in Newport Beach, California, the city where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, in an apparent attempt to confront him. Strickland repeatedly tagged his location on social media throughout the day, hoping to encounter Chimaev's team. He referenced comments Chimaev allegedly made about trying to kill him on the street. Strickland noted he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym and that members of Chimaev's training team follow him on social media and would have seen his location tags. Strickland expressed disappointment that Chimaev did not show up, claiming he is the last person in America Chimaev should be calling out.
