Tsarukyan receives unexplained $42,000 bonus from UFC

Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus payment of $42,000. The lightweight contender stated he did not initially understand what the payment was for, as the UFC typically does not explain such bonuses. Tsarukyan speculated it might be related to his social media activity or promotional work. He admitted he did not ask for clarification about the reason for the bonus, joking that his manager might then claim a percentage of it. The disclosure highlights the UFC's discretionary bonus system beyond officially announced fight night bonuses. Details about the specific reason for this particular payment remain unclear.
