Strickland explains why he carries a gun; Tsarukyan gets $42k bonus from UFC

Sean Strickland said Francis Ngannou once asked why he carries a weapon, and Strickland replied that Ngannou would find the reason in the mirror. Carlos Prates and Jack faced off for the first time; the post noted Prates is huge and questioned how he makes welterweight without dietary discipline. Shamil Gaziev currently weighs around 140 kg despite fighting at 120 kg, with a tournament in Australia where recovery time is half the usual. Arman Tsarukyan revealed UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus, possibly for social media work, though he did not ask details to avoid his manager claiming a share. The post covered various unrelated MMA news snippets.
