Overview

  • The Nevada State Athletic Commission approved a six‑month suspension for Sean Strickland, retroactive to the June 29 incident at a Tuff‑N‑Uff event in Las Vegas.
  • Strickland was fined $5,000 and assessed $157.04 in attorney fees, with eligibility for a reduction to 4.5 months upon completion of a commission‑approved anger‑management program.
  • Chris Curtis received a $2,500 fine, attorney fees, and a formal reprimand but no suspension for his role in the melee.
  • Video and reports show Strickland entered the cage after Luis Hernandez taunted Miles Hunsinger’s corner and threw punches that landed, while Curtis was involved physically but did not strike anyone.
  • The penalties were adopted via an adjudication agreement at the NSAC’s monthly meeting, with chairman Dallas Haun noting Strickland’s apology and acceptance of responsibility.
