Overview

  • The Nevada Athletic Commission approved an adjudication agreement Thursday that formalized penalties from the June 29 incident.
  • Strickland’s suspension is retroactive to the date of the melee and includes a $5,000 fine plus $157.04 in attorney fees.
  • Chris Curtis received a $2,500 fine, the same attorney fees and a formal letter of reprimand, and he was not suspended.
  • Chairman Dallas Haun said Strickland apologized and took responsibility, which helped resolve the case quickly.
  • The clash followed Luis Hernandez’s taunt after submitting Miles Hunsinger at Tuff-N-Uff 145, with Strickland landing a punch while Curtis did not.
