Tsarukyan receives unexpected $42,000 bonus from UFC

Sean Strickland made controversial comments about why he carries a weapon, referencing Francis Ngannou. Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena held their first face-off, with Prates appearing notably large for the welterweight division despite lacking dietary discipline. Shamil Gaziev currently weighs around 140 kg for his heavyweight bout (120 kg limit) at an event in Australia, where recovery time is significantly shorter than usual. Arman Tsarukyan revealed that UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus. He stated that UFC frequently sends him extra bonuses and wasn't sure what this particular payment was for, though he suspects it might be related to his social media activity. Tsarukyan admitted he didn't ask for details because his manager might then request a percentage of the bonus.
