Tsarukyan reveals UFC sent him unexpected $42,000 bonus

Arman Tsarukyan disclosed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected payment of $42,000 without clear explanation. The lightweight contender said he received the money a couple of days prior but wasn't told what it was for. Tsarukyan speculated the bonus might be related to his social media activity or promotional work. He joked that he didn't ask for clarification because his manager might then demand a percentage of the unexpected windfall. The revelation highlights the UFC's practice of discretionary bonuses beyond contracted pay and announced fight night bonuses.
