Prates and Wood hold first faceoff ahead of UFC clash; Sharaputdin weighs 140 kg

Carlos Prates and Jack Wood held their first faceoff ahead of their upcoming bout, with observers noting Prates' large frame for the welterweight division. Meanwhile, Sharaputdin Gaziev currently weighs approximately 140 kg despite competing at heavyweight (120 kg limit), raising concerns about his weight cut for an event in Australia where recovery time is significantly shorter. Sean Strickland commented on why he carries a weapon, telling Francis Ngannou that he would find the reason in the mirror. Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC unexpectedly sent him a $42,000 bonus, though he is unsure what it was for and speculates it may be for his social media activity.
