Arman Tsarukyan did not mince words when describing a recent wrestling exhibition involving internet influencers, calling it the easiest payday of his career.
Fresh off his victory at RAF 5, the top-ranked UFC lightweight spoke with The Schmo about the side event, where he grappled a friend of Adin Ross along with MMA personality MMA Guru:
Yesterday I made 40k for one minute and by just slamming a couple of fat guys.
This guy cannot even walk, bro. It’s my easiest 15K in my life.
After the first attempt failed, MMA Guru doubled down with a double-or-nothing proposal.
Adin Ross reportedly raised the stakes, potentially putting $30,000 on the line for the second match.
When The Schmo later asked Tsarukyan whether his win at RAF 5 was also “easy money” the Armenian-Russian star confirmed that it was…
Though he noted it was still more demanding than the exhibition the day before.
At RAF 5, Tsarukyan secured a technical fall victory, once again showcasing the grappling skills that have established him as one of the most dangerous contenders in the UFC lightweight division.
He also revealed that he is currently acting as an unofficial backup for an upcoming UFC title fight and is preparing to begin his weight cut:
I need the belt.
Your boy is going to be soon champion.
