Sean Strickland attacks fighter during wild post-fight scuffle outside UFC

Sean Strickland clears air on viral Tuff N Uff brawl

Curtis and Strickland burst into the cage and immediately squared up with Hernandez. Backing him up to the fence, Strickland tried to punch Hernandez twice before being pulled away. Hernandez continued to taunt the UFC stars as the ring became even more crowded.

Taking to social media after the incident, Strickland explained why he was so flustered by Hernandez's antics.

"'Suck my d---,' 'You're a b----,' 'I'll f--- you up,' Insulted, threatened," Strickland wrote. "Purposely provoking me for a highlight. I go there to support a teammate, then I'm allowed to be verbally assaulted for a highlight.

"Never showed disrespect in a corner or at a fight. This was allowed to happen."

Hernandez's taunts would be considered unsportsmanlike conduct by the Unified Rules, but went unpunished. Another angle shows the incident up close.

Unfortunately for the former champ, he will likely receive a punishment from the Nevada Athletic Commission, as will Curtis. An injustice, as far as Strickland is concerned.

"Yeah what frustrates me is even during the fight he was insulting me," He continued on X. "The athletic commission's job is to prevent this from happening. There was no warning. No penalty. They tell Merab to shut up all the time.. Even the announcers were calling it."

This is still a developing story.
