Arman Tsarukyan receives unexpected $42,000 bonus from UFC

Lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus of $42,000. The Armenian fighter said he didn't understand the reason for the payment, as the promotion typically doesn't explain such bonuses. He speculated it might be related to his social media activity but admitted he didn't ask for details. Tsarukyan joked that he avoided inquiring because his manager might claim a percentage if he knew. He noted that the UFC regularly sends him extra bonuses beyond his contracted pay. The revelation provides rare insight into discretionary payments the promotion makes to fighters.
