Arman Tsarukyan disclosed in an interview on the Full Send Podcast that he spends between $500,000 and $700,000 per month, with a minimum of $250,000-$300,000. The UFC lightweight contender explained that approximately $250,000 of his monthly expenses go toward purchasing watches, which he buys after grappling or wrestling matches. Tsarukyan mentioned his lavish lifestyle includes private jets, Rolls Royces, expensive parties, and luxury items like white t-shirts costing $2,500. He stated he recently accepted a grappling match against Urijah Faber purely for the money, admitting he spends his entire monthly earnings. The fighter acknowledged that some of his lifestyle content is created for social media purposes.
Arman Tsarukyan pulled back the curtain on his finances during an appearance on the Full Send Podcast, revealing that his monthly spending regularly falls between $500,000 and $700,000, with what he described as a floor of $250,000 to $300,000.
Tsarukyan, 29, holds the number-one contender ranking in the UFC lightweight division and carries a record of 23-3-0. The Russian fighter, who trains out of American Top Team, has built a reputation as one of the most well-rounded threats at 155 pounds, averaging 3.85 significant strikes per minute at a 50 percent accuracy rate while also posting 3.26 takedowns per 15 minutes. Outside the cage, it appears he operates at a similarly high output — financially speaking. He told the podcast that roughly $250,000 of his monthly outgoings go toward watch purchases alone, which he described as a habit tied to winning grappling and wrestling matches. Private jets, Rolls Royces, expensive parties, and luxury basics — including a white t-shirt reportedly priced at $2,500 — round out the picture he painted of his day-to-day life.
Tsarukyan also shed light on a recent grappling match against Urijah Faber, saying he took the bout purely for the financial reward. Faber, 47, is a decorated veteran and former WEC featherweight champion who competed for years under the Team Alpha Male banner he founded. The American holds a career record of 35-11-0 and averaged 2.65 significant strikes per minute across his career, with 1.54 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Tsarukyan acknowledged that not everything he posts is a straight documentary of his life, admitting some of the lifestyle content is produced with social media in mind — suggesting the full picture may sit somewhere between the extraordinary numbers he cited and performance for an audience.
