Quick read

A daily news digest covering multiple MMA stories. Sean Strickland made comments about Francis Ngannou regarding carrying weapons. Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena had their first face-off, with Prates appearing significantly larger, raising questions about his weight cut to 170 lbs given his size and lack of dietary discipline. Shamil Gaziev weighed around 140 kg yesterday despite his limit being 120 kg, with concerns about recovery time in Australia being half the usual. Arman Tsarukyan revealed UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus, possibly for social media work, though he wasn't told the specific reason. Tsarukyan joked about not asking for details so his manager wouldn't request a percentage.
