Strickland jokes about carrying gun, Tsarukyan receives unexpected UFC bonus

Quick read

Sean Strickland made a joke about carrying a weapon, saying Francis Ngannou once asked why he carries a gun and Strickland told him "you'll find the reason in the mirror." Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena held their first face-off, with observers noting Prates looks huge for the welterweight division. Shamil Gaziev currently weighs around 140 kg despite competing at 120 kg, with concerns about weight cutting given the Australia event has half the usual recovery time. Arman Tsarukyan revealed that UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus without explanation, speculating it might be related to his social media work. He joked about not asking his manager for details to avoid paying commission on the bonus.
