Strickland jokes about carrying gun, Tsarukyan receives mystery $42k bonus from UFC

In a news roundup, Sean Strickland recounted telling Francis Ngannou that the heavyweight would find the reason he carries a weapon by looking in a mirror. Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus without explanation, speculating it might be related to his social media activity and joking that he didn't ask for clarification so his manager wouldn't request a percentage. The post also noted the significant size difference between Carlos Prates and Jack Della Maddalena at their first faceoff, questioning how Prates makes welterweight given his frame and lack of dietary discipline. Additionally, Shamil Gaziev was reported to weigh around 140kg yesterday despite competing at heavyweight (120kg limit) with the UFC Perth event approaching in Australia, where recovery time is significantly shorter.
