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

Dana White acknowledged he was not sufficiently vigilant during the face-off between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. White believes Chimaev struck Strickland between the legs, though a security guard on that side partially blocked the blow. The UFC president described this as one of the most intense examples of genuine animosity between fighters he has witnessed. White noted that sometimes fighters show respect to each other at face-offs, and sometimes they do not, categorizing this incident as particularly hostile.
