Strickland jokes about carrying gun, Prates weighs in huge, Tsarukyan gets bonus

Sean Strickland joked that Francis Ngannou once asked why he carries a weapon, and Strickland told him he'd find the reason in the mirror. Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena had their first faceoff, with Prates appearing enormous and raising questions about how he makes 170 pounds. Shamil Gaziev weighed around 140 kg despite competing at 120 kg, with the Australia event giving him half the usual recovery time. Arman Tsarukyan revealed UFC sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus a few days ago without explanation, possibly related to his social media work, and joked his manager might want a percentage if he asks what it's for.
