Former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland is located in hot water after causing a fight after the fight on Tuff-n-supl 145.
UFC Fan Favorite Sean Strickland is a hunter who is ready to throw hands at any time. Ask the UFC Middleweight title holder Drus Du Plessis, who came in with Strickland while he was sitting on UFC 296.
Strickland, who has not fought since a unanimous loss of decision for Du Plessis on UFC 312, has been called by people like Israel Adesanya and others for his next octagon booking. At the moment, the UFC matchmakers have not announced anything about the next fight by Strickland.
Strickland's UFC return timeline can undergo a considerable delay after the former champion had fueled a fight after the fight on Tuff-N-SUK 145.

Sean Strickland Sparks Wild Post-Fight Brawl on Tuff-n-SUK 145
Strickland and colleague Middleweight Chris Curtis have one of their teammates, Miles Hunsinger, in Tuff-n-supl 145 in Las Vegas. Hunsinger returned to the cage after a three-year break, arising from a knockout loss to Demarques Jackson on Eagle FC 44.
Hunsinger and Luis Hernandez helped when starting the action at Tuff-Up 145 in a matchup between two middleweight contenders. After a back and forth first round, Chaos followed in round 2 when Hernandez had several mid-fighting conversations with Hunsinger's Corner.
Hernandez submitted Hunsinger with a standing guillotine before gesturing to Curtis and Strickland with an X-rated gesture. Hernandez then shook the hand of Hunsinger when Strickland and Curtis ran into the cage, with Strickland, a big blow in the head of Hernandez before the security staff intervened.

Strickland was quickly accompanied from the Arena after the loss of Hunsinger. At the moment, the UFC has not made any public comments about the incident.
This is far from the first time that Strickland has led a controversy outside the UFC Octagon. He has disturbed many feathers with some of his doubtful claims placed on his social media accounts, and has discussed various residents of Las Vegas in Road Rage-related incidents.
Strickland may be confronted with penalties from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which punished Tuff-Up 145, as well as potential criminal charges such as Hernandez chooses to go that route.

Strickland wants to get back on the right track in the cage after two title fighting losses for Du Plessis. Between the decision losses at the UFC champion middleweight, Strickland defeated Paulo Costa on the Scorecards at UFC 302.
UFC CEO Dana White will probably have a lot to say about the actions of Strickland during his next media availability. White has repeatedly questioned Strickland for its verbal and physical behavior outside the octhoek during the career of the middleweight.
Curtis has not participated since a knock -out loss of Head Kick in January and is without a win in four of his last five fights.
