Arman Tsarukyan gifts Nina Drama a watch days after agreeing to purchase Justin Gaethje a truck for his UFC Freedom 250 win

Tsarukyan was not in attendance on the UFC White House event to witness the crowning of a brand new champion in his division last Sunday night.

As an alternative, he was in St. Louis, where Tsarukyan beat Tony Ferguson at RAF 10 to proceed his undefeated wrestling and grappling run.

Many were shocked to see Gaethje upset the chances against Ilia Topuria in Washington, DC. However the Armenian was seen placing an enormous $1 million bet on ‘The Highlight’ before the event, which Dana White later claimed was actually placed by his friend.

Nevertheless, the brand new lightweight king was after a reward after the sizable wager landed $5.7 million in winnings, and Tsarukyan accepted Gaethje’s request for a brand new truck.

And that isn’t the one person getting gifted by ‘Akhalkalakets’. During a recent stream on Nina Drama’s Kick channel while in Armenia, Tsarukyan gave the media personality a brand new watch.

The watch is seemingly value $12,000, which is probably going nothing for the UFC star given his reported wealth and frequent activity in combat sports this yr.

For now, Tsarukyan’s immediate future still lies on the RAF mats, where he’ll next wrestle Colby Covington in Milwaukee on July 18.

But he’s eyeing up the possibility to challenge Gaethje for the lightweight crown down the road, telling the UFC he should be next for ‘The Highlight’.
