Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland is in hot water following his actions after a brawl at Tuff-N-Uff 145.
Strickland is a fighter who is ready to throw hands at any time.
Strickland, who hasn’t fought since a unanimous decision loss to du Plessis at UFC 312, made the headlines for the wrong reasons when teammate Miles Hunsinger took on Luis Hernandez on the undercard of Tuff-N-Uff 145 in a middleweight fight.
The first round between the two fighters provided back-and-forth action. However, it was in round two that chaos began to ensue as Hernandez had several mid-fight conversations with Hunsinger’s corner, including Strickland.
As soon as the fight was over, Hernandez motioned to Hunsinger’s corner, where Strickland and fellow UFC fighter Chris Curtis supported him.
Hernandez did the classic “crotch chop” towards the corner, and a split second later, Sean Strickland and Curtis were charging directly at him. Strickland threw a punch that connected with Hernandez and then threw another shot before backing away.

Curtis held onto Hernandez for several seconds before the fighter shrugged him off. Officials, fighters, and security rushed into the cage to separate everybody before the situation got any worse.
Will Sean Strickland Face Backlash?
On Sunday, Sean Strickland stormed the cage at an MMA event, striking a fighter who beat the UFC star’s teammate.
Hernandez immediately celebrated by looking through the cage fence at Strickland and Chris Curtis and taunting them.
That led Strickland and Curtis to rush into the cage to confront Hernandez, with Strickland punching the 28-year-old twice.
Strickland is one of the most divisive fighters in the UFC.
Because the fight is in Las Vegas, the Nevada State Athletic Commission is overseeing the event, which means Strickland could face some kind of potential punishment for his actions.
