Actions have consequences, even for former UFC champions like Sean Strickland who believe rules don’t apply to them. Athletic commissions exist to maintain order and protect the integrity of combat sports competitions. When fighters violate those rules, suspensions follow regardless of star power or past accomplishments. Sometimes those suspensions extend beyond just competing, affecting attendance privileges too.<\/p>
‘Tarzan’ has never been known for following conventional wisdom or showing restraint when emotions run high. The former middleweight champion stormed the cage at a Tuff-N-Uff event back in June after Miles Hunsinger lost. Strickland threw punches at Luis Hernandez, who had taunted Hunsinger’s corner after securing a submission victory. Now, it has come back to bite him, even in the UFC. <\/p>
Strickland took to Threads to share his frustration about the situation with his typical blunt honesty. He wrote that he wanted to go watch his homies fight tonight, but the UFC bosses personally called him to tell him off. Strickland added that he’s suspended and can’t come.<\/p>
