Sean Strickland spends day near Chimaev's gym, calls out opponent publicly

Sean Strickland traveled to Newport Beach, California, where Khamzat Chimaev is currently training, and spent an entire day geo-tagging his location on social media. Strickland was located approximately ten minutes from Chimaev's training facility throughout the day. He referenced previous comments where Chimaev allegedly said he would try to kill Strickland if they met on the street. Strickland noted that fighters training with Chimaev follow him on social media and would have seen his location tags. He expressed expectation that Chimaev would show up, calling himself "the last guy in America" Chimaev should mess with. The incident represents escalating tension and promotional activity ahead of their scheduled fight.
