Sean Strickland Faces Probe After Tuff-N-Uff Brawl

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland sparked controversy at the Tuff-N-Uff 145 event in Las Vegas by storming the cage and punching undefeated prospect Luis Hernandez, who had just submitted Strickland's teammate, Miles Hunsinger. The altercation escalated after Hernandez taunted Strickland and fellow UFC fighter Chris Curtis with obscene gestures, prompting both men to confront him physically. Strickland threw two punches while Curtis restrained him, and the situation was quickly diffused by officials and security. Strickland later claimed on social media that Hernandez's repeated provocations and the lack of intervention from officials led to his actions. The Nevada State Athletic Commission is expected to investigate, and both Strickland and Curtis could face disciplinary action, including potential suspension from cornering future fights. The UFC has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
