Strickland on carrying a gun, Prates-Della Maddalena faceoff, Tsarukyan UFC bonus

Sean Strickland explained his gun-carrying habits by saying Francis Ngannou would find the reason in the mirror. Carlos Prates and Jack Della Maddalena had their first faceoff, with observers noting Prates' massive size for the welterweight division despite a lack of dietary discipline. Shamil Gaziev weighed around 140 kg yesterday, 20 kg over his heavyweight limit, with the tournament set for Australia where recovery time is half the usual. Arman Tsarukyan revealed UFC sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus a few days ago, possibly for social media work, and he joked about not asking his manager for details to avoid paying commission.
