Arman Tsarukyan disclosed his substantial monthly expenses during an appearance on the Full Send Podcast, revealing he spends between $500,000 and $700,000 per month. This includes $250,000 spent on watches alone each month, which he purchases after grappling or wrestling matches. Tsarukyan explained that some expenses are for content creation, including private jets, Rolls-Royces, lavish parties, and designer clothing like $2,500 white t-shirts. He discussed taking money fights, including a recent wrestling match and a potential bout with Urijah Faber, stating he asked for substantial payment because Faber is a "no-name" to him. Tsarukyan emphasized he takes these side competitions for the money and sees no issue spending all his earnings throughout the month. Even at minimum, he estimates spending $250,000-$300,000 monthly.
Arman Tsarukyan opened up about his eye-catching spending habits during a recent appearance on the Full Send Podcast, revealing that he burns through between $500,000 and $700,000 every single month.
The 29-year-old Russian lightweight described a lifestyle that includes private jets, Rolls-Royces, lavish parties, and designer clothing — among them white t-shirts that run $2,500 apiece. A significant slice of that spending goes toward watches, with Tsarukyan saying he drops $250,000 on timepieces alone each month, typically purchasing them after grappling or wrestling competitions. He was candid about the motivation, stating that some of the spending is tied to content creation. Even in a quieter month, he puts his floor at $250,000 to $300,000.
Tsarukyan currently sits as the number-one ranked lightweight contender in the UFC with a record of 23 wins and 3 losses. Standing five-foot-seven with a 72-inch reach, he is one of the division's most complete fighters, averaging 3.85 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy while also threatening opponents on the mat with 3.26 takedowns per 15 minutes as a member of American Top Team.
During the podcast, he also addressed a potential side bout with Urijah Faber. Tsarukyan was blunt, describing the 47-year-old American as a "no-name" to him and saying he demanded substantial payment before agreeing to any such match. Faber, a veteran with a career record of 35-11 who competed primarily at bantamweight and featherweight, is a legend of the sport's earlier era but has been away from the UFC for years. Tsarukyan's comments underscore that he views these outside competitions purely as financial opportunities.
Why it matters
- Tsarukyan's public financial disclosures offer rare candor from a top UFC contender about life outside the Octagon.
- His comments on Faber frame any potential match as a money exhibition rather than a serious competitive pursuit.
- As the lightweight division's top-ranked contender, Tsarukyan's outside activities draw scrutiny over how they may factor into his path toward a title shot.
