Strickland jokes about carrying gun because of Ngannou's size

Quick read

Sean Strickland shared an anecdote about Francis Ngannou asking why he carries a weapon, to which Strickland replied that Ngannou would find the reason in the mirror. Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena held their first face-off, with observers noting Prates' enormous size and questioning how he makes 170 pounds given his frame and lack of dietary discipline. Shamil Gaziev reportedly weighed around 140 kg, significantly above his 120 kg weight class, with the fight taking place in Australia where recovery time is half the usual. Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus, speculating it might be for his social media work but unsure of the exact reason.
