Strickland jokes about carrying gun because of Francis, Prates towers over Madalena

Sean Strickland made a joke about carrying a weapon, saying when Francis Ngannou asked him why, he replied that Francis would find the reason in the mirror. Carlos Prates and Jack Madalena held their first face-off, with the post noting that Prates looked massive and questioning how he makes the 77 kg weight limit given his size and lack of dietary discipline. The post also mentioned that Shamil Gaziev weighed around 140 kg yesterday despite his division limit being 120 kg, with the UFC Perth event in Australia giving him less recovery time than usual due to time zones. Arman Tsarukyan revealed that UFC sent him an unexpected bonus of $42,000, which he believes may be related to his social media work, though UFC did not specify the reason.
