Daily roundup: Prates' size advantage, Gaziev's weight concerns, Tsarukyan's bonus

Sean Strickland joked that when Francis Ngannou asked why he carries a gun, he told him "you'll find the reason in the mirror." 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 recently despite fighting at 120 kg, with concerns about recovery time for the Australia event. Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus, possibly related to his social media activity, and joked about not telling his manager to avoid sharing the payment.
