UFC Star Sean Strickland Storms Cage and Brawls With Fighter Who Beat His Teammate (Video) originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland remains one of the UFC’s most unpredictable and volatile fighters outside of the cage. He has a notorious reputation for speaking his mind no matter how offensive his thoughts may be, and an even more notorious reputation for engaging in antics and drama outside of the Octagon.
Recently, Strickland and his longtime teammate Chris Curtis engaged in a post-fight brawl at Tuff-N-Uff 145 after their training partner, Miles Hunsinger, was submitted by unbeaten MMA prospect Luis Hernandez.
The fight ignited when Hernandez, following his standing guillotine choke victory, taunted Strickland and Curtis with obscene gestures, which led to the two UFC veterans storming the cage and fighting him.
Before the fight could get any uglier, officials and the security team intervened.
Here is a clip of the incident:

Strickland, who has a history of volatile behavior outside the Octagon, could face potential disciplinary action from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). As a licensed cornerman, he could be suspended from cornering pending an investigation into prohibited acts and disciplinary actions.
The UFC has yet to comment, but CEO Dana White should address the situation soon, given Strickland’s high-profile status.
Hernandez, meanwhile, remains undefeated and unapologetic. The Florida native, known for his brash persona, has a history of flashy finishes, including a three-second head kick KO in 2023. His post-fight antics were clearly intended to provoke, and they succeeded—drawing Strickland and Curtis into a brawl that has now gone viral.
Already coming off two title fight losses to du Plessis, Strickland was expected to return to the Octagon later this year. However, if he faces disciplinary action for his conduct, his comeback could be delayed indefinitely. Curtis, who has lost four of his last five fights, may also face repercussions.
