Dana White admits lack of vigilance during Chimaev-Strickland face-off incident

UFC president Dana White acknowledged he was not sufficiently vigilant during the face-off between Hamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. White believes Chimaev struck Strickland between the legs, though a security guard partially blocked the blow. He noted that fighters sometimes show respect at face-offs and sometimes do not. White characterized this as one of the most intense cases of genuine animosity he has witnessed in UFC history.
