Strickland jokes about carrying weapon; Tsarukyan receives unexpected UFC bonus

Sean Strickland recalled Francis Ngannou asking why he carries a weapon, replying that Ngannou would find the reason in a mirror. Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena held their first face-off, with observers noting Prates' massive size for the welterweight division. Shamil Gaziev currently weighs around 140kg despite competing at 120kg, with concerns about weight cutting in Australia where recovery time is halved. Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC recently sent him an unexpected $42,000 bonus without explanation, speculating it might relate to his social media activity, and joked about not asking questions so his manager wouldn't request a percentage.
