Quick read

A news roundup includes several items: Sean Strickland made comments about Francis Ngannou and carrying a weapon. Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena had their first face-off, with Prates appearing huge for the welterweight division. Shamil Gaziev weighed around 140 kg recently, despite his limit being 120 kg, and the event being in Australia where recovery time is half the usual due to time zones. Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC sent him a $42,000 bonus that he didn't understand the reason for, speculating it might be related to his social media work.
