Multiple UFC updates: Strickland comments, Prates-Maddalena face-off, Tsarukyan bonus

Sean Strickland made comments about Francis Ngannou and carrying a weapon. Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena had their first face-off, with observers noting Prates' size and questioning how he makes the welterweight limit given his frame and dietary habits. Shamil Gaziev reportedly weighed around 140kg recently ahead of UFC Perth in Australia, where recovery time is reduced. Arman Tsarukyan revealed that the UFC recently sent him a $42,000 bonus without explanation, speculating it might be related to his social media activity, and joked about his manager wanting a cut. The post notes Australia's time zone presents additional challenges for weight cutting and recovery.
