Strickland received a temporary suspension after attacking a regional fighter in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n Strickland’s temporary suspension is expected to be extended at Wednesday’s commission meeting, according to MMA Fighting. Strickland’s full punishment won’t be decided until a later date. Potential penalties include a longer suspension and\/or a fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n The former UFC middleweight champion got in hot water after an incident on June 29. Strickland and teammate Chris Curtis were cornering regional fighter Miles Hunsinger at a Tuff-N-Uff event in Las Vegas. Undefeated prospect Luis Hernandez taunted Hunsinger’s corner after submitting him.\u00a0<\/p>\n Strickland and Curtis rushed the cage to confront Hernandez. Strickland threw several strikes at Hernandez, one of which appeared to land. Security intervened shortly after and regained order.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hernandez previously told MMA Fighting\u00a0he didn’t want Strickland penalized, despite the NSAC’s eventual decision to suspend the UFC star.<\/p>\n “I would never want anything to happen to these guys because I actually like them, and I hope they watch this,” Hernandez said. “I have nothing against Sean, nothing against Chris, nothing against Xtreme Couture…<\/p>\n “I hope the commission does not take this out on them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Getty Images Sean Strickland is in hot water with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
