Arman Tsarukyan disclosed detailed information about his monthly spending habits during an appearance on the Full Send Podcast. He stated that his monthly expenses range from $500,000 to $700,000, with a minimum of $250,000-$300,000. Tsarukyan explained that he purchases a new watch after each grappling or wrestling match, with watches alone costing around $250,000 monthly. He mentioned being offered a grappling match against Urijah Faber, which he said he would only accept for substantial money since he considers Faber a "no-name" and does it purely for financial gain. Tsarukyan's spending includes private jets, Rolls-Royces, lavish events, and expensive clothing like $2,500 white T-shirts, though he acknowledged some purchases are for content creation.
Arman Tsarukyan pulled back the curtain on his personal 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.
The 29-year-old Russian lightweight, ranked first in the UFC's 155-pound division, carries a professional record of 23-3-0 and trains out of American Top Team. Standing five-foot-seven with a 72-inch reach, Tsarukyan has built a reputation as one of the most well-rounded fighters in the division, averaging 3.85 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy while also threatening on the mat with 3.26 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Watches are apparently his single largest recurring expense, with Tsarukyan saying he buys a new timepiece after every grappling or wrestling match — a habit he claims costs roughly $250,000 per month on its own. His broader spending covers private jets, Rolls-Royces, high-end events, and clothing such as $2,500 white T-shirts, though he acknowledged some of those purchases are driven by content creation rather than pure personal use.
The interview also touched on a potential grappling match against Urijah Faber. Tsarukyan said he was offered the bout but would only take it for significant money, dismissing Faber as a "no-name" and making clear any participation would be strictly financial. Faber, now 47 years old and holding a career record of 35-11-0, fought for much of his career in the bantamweight division and was long considered one of the sport's most recognizable names.
Why it matters
- Tsarukyan's public profile continues to grow well beyond his in-cage performances, amplifying his visibility as the number-one ranked lightweight contender.
- His comments on Faber signal a calculated approach to grappling appearances, treating them as business transactions rather than competitive pursuits.
- The spending figures, even if partially tied to content creation, reflect the financial scale now accessible to elite UFC fighters at the top of their divisions.
