Arman Tsarukyan receives unexpected $42,000 bonus from UFC

Arman Tsarukyan revealed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus of $42,000, though he is unsure what it was for. The lightweight contender stated that the UFC typically doesn't explain these additional payments. Tsarukyan speculated it might be related to his social media work but admitted he didn't ask for clarification, joking that his manager might want a percentage if he knew the reason. The UFC regularly provides discretionary bonuses to fighters beyond their contracted pay and performance bonuses. This represents additional compensation on top of Tsarukyan's standard fight purse.
