Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena face off ahead of welterweight bout

Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena had their first face-off, with observers noting Prates' massive size and questioning how he makes the 77kg welterweight limit given his frame and lack of dietary discipline. Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus without explanation, possibly related to his social media work. Sean Strickland made controversial comments about carrying a weapon. Shamil Gaziev currently weighs around 140kg despite his division limit of 120kg, with an upcoming fight in Australia where recovery time is significantly shorter.
