Arman Tsarukyan disclosed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus payment of $42,000, and he was unsure of the reason for the extra compensation. The lightweight contender stated the UFC typically does not explain such bonuses and speculated it might be related to his social media activity. Tsarukyan joked that he did not ask for clarification because his manager might demand a percentage of the unexpected windfall. The payment represents one of several extra bonuses the UFC has sent him over time. Regarding other news, Paddy Pimblett vs Renato Moicano has been officially announced for UFC 329 on July 11. Additionally, Sean Strickland was teaching Nina Nunes how to ride a motorcycle, with predictably poor results given his teaching style.
