Arman Tsarukyan revealed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus of $42,000, and he's unsure what it was for since the organization typically doesn't explain such payments. He speculated it might be related to his social media work. Tsarukyan joked that he didn't ask questions about the reason because his manager might then claim a percentage. In other news, Sean Strickland made comments about Francis Ngannou and carrying a weapon. Carlos Prates and Jack Della Maddalena had their first face-off, with observers noting Prates' massive size and questioning how he makes the 170-pound weight limit. Shamil Gaziev currently weighs around 140 kilograms for his heavyweight bout in Australia, despite the division limit being 120 kilograms, raising concerns about his weight cut timeline with the Australian time difference providing less recovery time.
