Arman Tsarukyan receives unexpected $42,000 bonus from UFC

Arman Tsarukyan revealed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus of $42,000, and he was unsure of the reason for the payment. The lightweight contender stated that the UFC typically does not explain these additional payments. Tsarukyan speculated it might be related to his social media work or promotional activities. He joked that he didn't ask for details because his manager might want a percentage if he knew the specific reason. This represents an unusual instance of the UFC providing discretionary bonuses outside of fight night performance awards. The payment appears to be separate from his contracted fight purse.
