Sean Strickland suspended by NAC with disciplinary hearing scheduled
Sean Strickland can't fight until the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) considers recent actions accounted for. The NAC has temporarily suspended Strickland, with a disciplinary hearing set for Wednesday in Las Vegas. While the NAC did not respond to MMA Junkie's request for confirmation Thursday, all signs point to Strickland's suspension stemming from an incident at a recent Tuff-N-Uff event. At Tuff-N-Uff 145 on June 29, Strickland cornered teammate Miles Hunsinger, who was submitted by Luis Hernandez. Moments after the finish, Hernandez taunted Strickland, who then charged the cage and punched Hernandez twice. Chris Curtis also entered the cage with Strickland but did not throw blows. Curtis recently told Uncrowned he was fined as a result. It's unclear if a disciplinary resolution will be reached ahead of Wednesday's meeting in Las Vegas. The suspension could be extended to a future meeting. But as long as it's ongoing, Strickland will be unable to compete. "I wasnt even vocal in the corner," Strickland wrote on X after the incident. "The guy just wanted to antagonize me for a highlight.... What frustrates me is even during the fight he was insulting me. The athletic commissions job is to prevent this from happening. There was no warning. No penalty. They tell merhab to shut up all the time.. Even the announcers were calling it."
