The shocking outburst was captured on video and quickly circulated across social media, drawing widespread attention and criticism.
Strickland, known for his aggressive nature both inside and outside the octagon, now faces disciplinary action from the
Nevada State Athletic Commission
(NSAC).
Given the NSAC's strict policies, the UFC veteran is likely to be suspended and fined in the coming weeks. His high-profile status in the UFC could lead to enhanced scrutiny and a more severe penalty.
