In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Hernandez offered his thoughts on the entire incident, which quickly went viral on the internet.

''I don’t want to go too crazy on details, but I noticed they looked at me and they laughed. They said something, I think he said something to one of the other corner men, I know it’s like three of them. They said something and they started laughing at me. And I was like, man, I’m not a joke. I believe I am the real deal. I’ve got 11 fights, six pro fight finishes now and five finishes in amateur...and I was like, 'Oh, OK, you’re going to laugh at me? I’m going to get the last laugh.'''

Luis Hernandez says he won't press charges against Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis

In the aforementioned interview with MMA Fighting, Luis Hernandez indicated that he is ready to move on, as the 28-year-old doesn't harbor any anger toward Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis.

Hernandez expressed his admiration for Strickland and the Xtreme Couture team, saying:

''I hope the commission does not... like they even asked me, ‘Hey, you’re gonna press charges?’ I’m like, ‘What? No.’ I would never want anything to happen to these guys because I actually like them, and I hope they watch this. I have nothing against Sean, nothing against Chris, nothing against Xtreme Couture. I like those guys.''

As for Strickland, he failed to reclaim his middleweight title after suffering a unanimous decision defeat in a rematch against Dricus du Plessis at UFC 312 earlier this year. Meanwhile, Curtis is on a two-fight losing streak, the most recent being a third-round knockout loss to Roman Kopylov at UFC Vegas 101.
