Arman Tsarukyan receives unexpected $42,000 bonus from UFC

Quick read

Arman Tsarukyan revealed the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus payment of $42,000. The lightweight contender stated he doesn't know the specific reason for the payment, saying the UFC typically doesn't explain such bonuses. Tsarukyan speculated it might be related to his social media activity but admitted he didn't ask for clarification because his manager might want a percentage if it's officially explained. The comment was made humorously as Tsarukyan discussed his relationship with the promotion. Meanwhile, Sean Strickland made comments about Francis Ngannou and carrying a weapon, Carlos Prates and Jack Maddalena had their first face-off with Prates appearing notably large for welterweight, and Shamil Gaziev weighed around 140kg despite fighting at 120kg with limited recovery time in Australia.
