Arman Tsarukyan receives unexpected $42,000 bonus from UFC

Lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan revealed that the UFC recently sent him an unexpected bonus of $42,000. Tsarukyan stated he was unsure what the payment was for, as the organization typically doesn't explain such bonuses. He speculated it might be related to his social media activity.
