Strickland explains why he carries a gun; Tsarukyan receives mystery $42k bonus

Sean Strickland recounted a conversation with Francis Ngannou in which he explained carrying a weapon by pointing to Ngannou's intimidating physical presence. Carlos Prates and Jack Della Maddalena held their first face-off ahead of their UFC welterweight bout, with observers noting Prates' massive frame at 170 pounds. Arman Tsarukyan revealed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus of $42,000 without explanation, speculating it might be related to his social media activity. Shamil Gaziev currently weighs around 140 kg, far above his 120 kg weight class, with limited time to cut weight before his upcoming fight in Australia.
