Arman Tsarukyan receives unexpected $42,000 bonus from UFC

Lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan disclosed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected payment of $42,000. Tsarukyan stated he was not informed about the reason for the bonus payment and speculates it may be related to his social media activity or promotion. He humorously noted that he did not ask his manager about the payment's purpose because the manager might then claim a percentage of it. This revelation highlights the UFC's practice of providing discretionary bonuses to fighters beyond their contracted pay. Tsarukyan's comments suggest the promotion occasionally rewards fighters for promotional efforts outside the cage.
