Quick read

Sean Strickland shared an anecdote about a conversation with Francis Ngannou regarding why he carries a firearm. Strickland claims he told Ngannou that he would find the reason by looking in a mirror, implying Ngannou's imposing physical size is the reason. The post also noted that Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena had their first staredown ahead of UFC Perth, with Prates appearing particularly large for the welterweight division. Questions were raised about how Prates makes the 77kg limit given his size and reported lack of strict dietary discipline. Additionally, Shamil Gaziev was reported to have weighed around 140kg the previous day, though his division limit is 120kg, with the UFC Perth event in Australia allowing less recovery time than usual.
