Arman Tsarukyan disclosed that he spends between $500,000 and $700,000 per month, with a minimum of $250,000-$300,000. He revealed that $250,000 alone goes toward purchasing new watches each month, often after grappling or wrestling matches. Tsarukyan mentioned that he was recently offered a grappling match against Urijah Faber but demanded substantial payment since he considers Faber a 'no-name' and only participates for money. His lavish lifestyle includes private jets, Rolls-Royces, expensive parties, and luxury items like $2,500 white t-shirts. The comments were made during an appearance on the Full Send Podcast.
Arman Tsarukyan made headlines away from the octagon this week after revealing the staggering scale of his monthly expenditures during an appearance on the Full Send Podcast, with the UFC lightweight contender disclosing he spends between $500,000 and $700,000 every month.
Tsarukyan, 29, holds a 23-3-0 record and is currently ranked number one in the lightweight division, making him one of the most prominent title contenders in the sport. The Russia-born American Top Team fighter stands five-foot-seven with a 72-inch reach and posts an impressive 50 percent striking accuracy alongside 3.26 takedowns per 15 minutes, numbers that reflect his elite all-around game. His financial candor was equally striking: he acknowledged a floor of $250,000 to $300,000 per month in baseline spending, with watch purchases alone accounting for $250,000 of that figure — habits he said often follow grappling or wrestling sessions.
The 47-year-old Urijah Faber, known as "The California Kid," also entered the conversation after Tsarukyan revealed he had been approached about a grappling match against the veteran. Faber, who carries a career record of 35-11-0 and fought out of Team Alpha Male, holds a significant place in combat sports history, but Tsarukyan was blunt in his assessment, describing Faber as a "no-name" and making clear he would only accept such a bout for substantial financial compensation.
Beyond watches and potential grappling paydays, Tsarukyan described a lifestyle that includes private jets, Rolls-Royces, high-end parties, and luxury clothing — including white t-shirts that reportedly cost $2,500 apiece.
Why it matters
- Tsarukyan's comments underscore how top-ranked UFC fighters are increasingly parlaying octagon success into broader celebrity and financial visibility.
- His dismissal of Faber signals he views his market value as firmly in the elite tier, with no interest in exhibition bouts without premium compensation.
- The remarks keep Tsarukyan in the public eye at a moment when lightweight title positioning is critical.
