Arman Tsarukyan receives unexpected $42,000 bonus from UFC

Lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan revealed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus payment of $42,000. Tsarukyan stated he did not understand the reason for the payment, as the UFC typically does not explain such bonuses. He speculated the money might be related to his social media activity or promotional efforts. The fighter joked that he did not ask for clarification because his manager might then request a percentage. The bonus highlights the UFC's practice of providing discretionary payments to fighters beyond contracted amounts.
