Dana White acknowledged that he was not sufficiently vigilant during the faceoff between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. White believes Chimaev struck Strickland between the legs, though a security guard partially blocked the attempt. He noted that while fighters sometimes show mutual respect, this situation represented one of the most intense genuine rivalries the UFC has ever witnessed. The post does not provide further details about the specific incident or when it occurred.
