Overview

• Strickland received a six‑month suspension retroactive to June 29 that runs through Dec. 29, with eligibility to cut it to 4.5 months by completing a commission‑approved anger‑management course.
• He was fined $5,000 and assessed $157.04 in attorney fees, and he cannot fight or corner in Nevada during the suspension period.
• The sanctions stem from Tuff‑N‑Uff 145 in Las Vegas, where Strickland entered the cage after Miles Hunsinger’s loss and punched winner Luis Hernandez following taunts toward the corner.
• NSAC chairman Dallas Haun said Strickland accepted responsibility and apologized, and the commission finalized the penalties through an adjudication agreement.
• Chris Curtis was fined $2,500, issued a formal reprimand, and required to pay legal fees, but he was not suspended; Strickland has signaled he will complete the anger‑management course.
