Video: Sean Strickland rushes cage, punches regional fighter in head after taunt
A post shared by Tuff-N-Uff The Future 🌟 of MMA (@tuffnuff) Sean Strickland threw punches inside the cage Sunday in Las Vegas and he wasn't even scheduled to fight. At Tuff-N-Uff 145, Strickland cornered teammate Miles Hunsinger against Luis Hernandez in a battle of unbeaten middleweights. As Hunsinger (7-1) grabbed hold in the clinch, he stuck his neck out too far and got caught in a standing guillotine choke by Hernandez (6-0). While he had the choke on, Hernandez stuck his tongue out in the direction of Hunsinger's corner, which included Strickland and fellow UFC fighter Chris Curtis. Immediately following the tap, Hernandez taunted Hunsinger's corner again with middle fingers and a pair of obscene gestures toward his crotch. Strickland and Curtis immediately stormed the cage. While Curtis grabbed hold of Hernandez, Strickland threw two over-the-top right hands that connected on Hernandez. Commission and promotion officials intervened before more chaos could ensue. Given Strickland was a licensed cornerman for the event, the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) could suspend his license as not only a "second" (cornerman), but also as a fighter. It's unclear at this time if Strickland will face any disciplinary action.
