Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland will be on the shelf a while.

This week, the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed that it was to extend Strickland’s July 3 suspension until at least August as part of disciplinary measures for attacking a fighter post-fight at a Tuff-N-Uff event in Las Vegas.

The fighter in question, Luis Hernandez, had taunted his opponent’s coaches, who included Strickland, after defeating his teammate Miles Hungsinger by guillotine choke submission.

Strickland will remain suspended until his next scheduled hearing in August as part of the commission’s monthly meeting protocols. It is possible the suspension could be extended further at that time.

He was a licensed cornerman during the incident.

“In connection with the June 29, 2025 contest held in Las Vegas, NV, which the respondent was not participating in as a combatant,” Matthew Feeley, Nevada’s deputy attorney general said of the case. “The respondent engaged in a physical altercation with a contestant immediately after the contestant’s bout.”

Until the final terms of Strickland’s suspension is confirmed, the UFC will be unable to book him to participate in a fight.

Speaking previously, Hernandez said that he hoped that the commission wouldn’t throw the book at Strickland.

“I would say we’re all adults here, and I have nothing against them, and I will say this again: I hope the commission does not take this out on them at all because, at the end of the day, we’re all professionals and this is entertainment,” he said.
