Shamil Gaziev weighed 140kg before UFC Perth camp, raising recovery time concerns

A news roundup notes that Shamil Gaziev weighed approximately 140 kilograms yesterday, significantly above the heavyweight limit of 120 kilograms. The post highlights concerns about his weight cutting timeline, particularly because UFC Perth takes place in Australia where the time difference allows only half the usual recovery period after weigh-ins. The post also mentions that Carlos Prates appeared notably large at the initial face-off with Jack Maddalena, questioning how he makes the welterweight limit of 77 kilograms given his size and reported lack of dietary discipline. Additionally, the post includes a quote from Sean Strickland responding to Francis Ngannou about why he carries a weapon, and notes that Arman Tsarukyan received an unexpected $42,000 bonus from the UFC, possibly related to his social media activity.
