Sean Strickland visits Newport Beach near Chimaev's gym, tags location all day

Sean Strickland spent an entire day in Newport Beach, California, which is the location where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training. Throughout the day, Strickland repeatedly tagged his location on social media stories, hoping to encounter Chimaev's team. Strickland referenced Chimaev's previous comments about wanting to kill him on the street and noted he was only ten minutes from Chimaev's gym. He expressed that fighters who train with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his location updates. Strickland stated he was the last person in America that Chimaev should be calling out and expressed some disappointment that no encounter occurred. This appears to be part of the ongoing promotional buildup between the two fighters.
