Strickland claims UFC limiting his interactions with Chimaev

Sean Strickland stated that the UFC is attempting to restrict his interactions with Hamzat Chimaev during the upcoming fight week. Strickland said if he sees their teams being placed in unequal positions, he will go down to the hotel lobby and wait for Chimaev there. He told the UFC to either control Chimaev or not, saying he doesn't care and that things should proceed naturally since it's America. The comments suggest heightened tensions heading into their scheduled bout.
