Sean Strickland jokes about carrying gun due to Francis Ngannou's size

Sean Strickland shared an anecdote about a conversation with Francis Ngannou regarding firearms. According to Strickland, Ngannou once asked him why he carries a weapon. Strickland responded by telling Ngannou that he would find the reason by looking in the mirror, implying that Ngannou's imposing physical size is the reason. The comment appears to be Strickland's typical provocative humor rather than a serious statement. Additionally, Carlos Prates and Jack Della Maddalena held their first face-off ahead of UFC Perth, with observers noting Prates' significant size despite competing at welterweight. Arman Tsarukyan also mentioned receiving an unexpected $42,000 bonus from the UFC, speculating it might be related to his social media activity.
