Sean Strickland handed 6-month suspension for Las Vegas in-cage attack
Repercussions have been handed to Sean Strickland following his in-cage altercation with a regional fighter at a Tuff-N-Uff event in Las Vegas in June. In a hearing Thursday, the Nevada Athletic Commission agreed to a punishment of a six-month suspension and a $5,000 fine, plus legal fees. The suspension is retroactive to the incident date, which was June 29, meaning Strickland will be eligible to fight again on Dec. 29. Strickland can have the suspension reduced to four and a half months if he completes anger management classes. "Sean Strickland stepped forward. He made this process easy," NAC chairman Dallas Haun said. "He's apologized for his behavior. We appreciate someone stepping up, owning something, and for a resolution to be come to quickly and with all parties in agreement. So, again, thanks to Mr. Strickland. He's made a mistake and he's owned it and we appreciate that." The altercation occurred at the end of a middleweight bout between Luis Hernandez and Miles Hunsinger. After Hernandez submitted Strickland's teammate Hunsinger with a guillotine in Round 2, he began taunting Hunsinger's corner, which led to the former UFC middleweight champion storming the cage to throw punches at Hernandez. UFC welterweight Chris Curtis, Strickland and Hunsinger's teammate, also got involved in the skirmish and was fined $2,500 on Thursday. For the 34-year-old Strickland, this suspension effectively kills the rest of his 2025 fight career unless his suspension is reduced. He last fought in a losing effort when he rematched the now-former champion Dricus du Plessis in February. Strickland's last victory came via a split decision over Paulo Costa in June 2024.

Volunteers suspend Ruby Whitehorn indefinitely nearly 2 weeks after arrest
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Volunteers have suspended fourth-year guard Ruby Whitehorn indefinitely following her recent arrest on felony charges of domestic assault and aggravated burglary. Last week, Whitehorn's attorney, Gregory P. Isaacs, said Whitehorn will plead not guilty at her preliminary hearing on Sept. 5. 'She is suspended indefinitely and is not participating in team activities," an athletic department spokesman said in an email to The Associated Press on Thursday. The 6-foot player from Detroit was arrested Aug. 8 after the Knox County Sherriff's Office responded to a call around 4:15 p.m. According to reports, police said Whitehorn got into an altercation outside a woman's residence and kicked in a front door and bedroom door. Whitehorn reportedly told officers she was getting her property back after the woman took her phone and passport and then locked the door. 'Our firm's investigation has also revealed that the factual allegations contained in the warrants are not accurate and are contradicted by eyewitness accounts," Isaacs said in last week's statement. "Ruby Whitehorn looks forward to having this matter resolved in the very near future.' Whitehorn started 28 of 34 games last season for the Lady Vols and ranked fourth in scoring with 11.6 points a game. She also had four rebounds per game. She began her career at Clemson where she started 62 of the 66 games. She helped Tennessee go 24-10 in coach Kim Caldwell's debut season. The Lady Vols lost to Texas in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP women's college basketball: and
