Who is Arman Tsarukyan?
#4 ranked UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan is all set to go up against former divisional champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 300. The lightweight contest is going to be one of the most exciting ones on the incredibly stacked card of a pay-per-view that Dana White has promised to be one of the best.
Of course, every 3ooth PPV happens to be big. Tsarukyan is coming off a win over lightweight mainstay Beneil Dariush and will prove to be a great fight for 'Do Bronx' who might be well on his way towards title contendership. So, here's more about the Armenian fighter.
Arman Tsarukyan’s early life
Arman Tsarukyan was born on the 11th of October, 1996 in Akhalkalaki, Georgia. This is perhaps also where his nickname 'Akhalkalakets' comes from. Nairi Tsarukyan, his father, is a businessman with three kids. The UFC lightweight is the middle child with a younger sister and an older brother. His mother's name is Anahit Hakobyan.

He and his family moved away to Russia when the fighter was merely three years old. Since then, Tsarukyan grew to like many sporting activities, with freestyle wrestling and hockey taking precedence. However, after a decade of Ice Hockey, he had to abandon the sport to aid his father's construction business.
Arman Tsarukyan’s partner and children
Tsarukyan got married to his wife Milena on the 19th of April, 2019. He is a father to two daughters as of now, his youngest who was born in 2020, and then, another daughter who came in 2022. Having two baby daughters makes it difficult for him to stay away, but his family is very supportive.
His father, however, has asked Tsarukyan for a boy child. "'You're a sportsman . . . you cannot do like one boy for me?'" Tsarukyan joked in an interview with ESPN talking about his father's wish. "He's waiting for like man, you know?" He explained that the reason might be because his father has two sons and one daughter.
Arman Tsarukyan’s net worth 2024
Arman Tsarukyan was last seen going up against Beneil Dariush who was the 4th ranked lightweight fighter at the time. After winning his stoppage victory against him, Tsarukyan was awarded a $50,000 performance of the night bonus by the UFC.
Tsarukyan allegedly made around $500k for his main event victory over Dariush, and after a thrilling record of 21 wins and 3 losses, his net worth can be estimated at around $1.5 million. His money comes not only from his fights but from various endorsements.
Arman Tsarukyan’s career timeline
The 27-year-old is currently on a three-win fight streak. The last time he lost was against Mateusz Gamrot at UFC on ESPN 38 in their main event fight. Before that unanimous decision loss, he was already on a five-fight win streak, having defeated the likes of Davi Ramos, Matt Frevola, and Joel Alvarez.
After his loss to Gamrot in June 2022, Tsarukyan would go on to defeat Damir Ismagulov at UFC 216, Joaquim Silva at UFC on ESPN 47, and finally, Dariush at UFC on ESPN 52. Now, he's up against perhaps one of his toughest opponents ever, Charles Oliveira at UFC 300.
Arman Tsarukyan’s contracts
The lightweight fighter reportedly signed a four-fight deal with the UFC back in 2020. This was before he took on and defeated Ramos in July 2020 and since then, he has gone on to fight seven times. Clearly, his contract was extended by the UFC after seeing his great potential.
Perhaps after the many wins, his salary too was increased to almost $100k per fight. Fighting Oliveira might give him even bigger opportunities and better contracts moving forward.
Arman Tsarukyan’s partnerships and endorsements

Tsarukyan has racked up an impressive record of 21-3 in his professional MMA career. Of these, 10 fights are with the UFC out of which he's managed to win a staggering 8 losing only to Gamrot and the reigning lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev in the past.
Having a balanced graph might be his specialty as he's secured 9 wins by knockout, 5 by submission, and 7 by decisions. At 155 pounds, the fighter has dominated most matches and is currently on a 3-fight win streak. Will this streak continue with Oliveira? Only time can tell.
