Dana White admits he wasn't vigilant during Chimaev-Strickland face-off altercation

UFC President Dana White acknowledged that he failed to properly monitor the face-off between Hamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. White believes Chimaev may have struck Strickland below the belt, though a security guard on that side partially blocked the blow. White characterized the confrontation as one of the most intense genuine rivalries the UFC has ever witnessed. The incident reflects the deep animosity between the two fighters, with some participants showing respect at face-offs while others do not.
