Strickland spends day near Chimaev's gym after street fight threat

Sean Strickland spent an entire day in Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, publicly tagging his location on social media in hopes of encountering Chimaev's team. Strickland's actions came in response to Chimaev's previous statement that he would try to kill Strickland if they met on the street. Strickland noted he was just 10 minutes from Chimaev's gym and that people who train with Chimaev follow him and could see his stories. Strickland stated he believed Chimaev would show up, calling himself the last guy in America Chimaev should mess with. The confrontation never materialized despite Strickland's public presence throughout the day.
