Strickland jokes about gun while Prates faces Della Maddalena at weigh-in

Sean Strickland reportedly told Francis Ngannou he would see the reason for carrying a gun in the mirror. Meanwhile, Carlos Prates and Jack Della Maddalena had their first face-off, with observers noting Prates appeared massive despite competing at welterweight. Arman Tsarukyan revealed that UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus, speculating it might be related to his social media activity. Shamil Gaziev weighed around 140kg recently, well above the 120kg heavyweight limit, with a fight scheduled in Australia where recovery time is significantly shortened.
