Arman Tsarukyan has modified his tune on Justin Gaethje after he rejected his post-fight gift.
Last weekend, Justin Gaethje pulled off certainly one of the largest upsets in the game’s history when he finished Ilia Topuria in round 4 of their UFC Freedom 250 important event.
For his sensational win on the White House lawn, ‘The Highlight’ earned a further $825,000 after winning the Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night bonuses, which were hiked up for the historic night.
That wasn’t the one bonus Gaethje could’ve been the recipient of as Arman Tsarukyan told him he was going to send him a gift to mark his historic win.
Should Justin Gaethje retire following his undisputed title win?🤔
On his third attempt, Justin Gaethje finally became the undisputed lightweight champion, pulling off certainly one of the largest upsets in combat sports history👏🏼
Tsarukyan upset with Gaethje for rejecting his present
The lightweight primary contender wagered an enormous $1 million bet on Gaethje to drag off the upset, and won $5.7 million for his troubles.
In a mark of appreciation for winning him a small fortune, Tsarukyan claimed that he was going to purchase Gaethje a truck of his selection.
Despite that, during a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan experience, ‘The Highlight’ stated that he isn’t accepting any gifts from Tsarukyan.
“I’m not taking this f—— truck from Arman, there’s absolutely no way I’d take a truck (from him). He said he’s gonna buy me a truck but I’d never (accept it). No, I’m not taking a truck from him. I’d should ride around in a truck that a dude brought me,” Gaethje said.
The champion’s comments haven’t sat well with ‘Ahalkalakets’ who has responded by calling him an ‘a——‘ for rejecting his gesture.
“Justin is saying, ‘I’m not gonna take the automobile’, I said, ‘F— it, I’m not gonna give it to him’, if he doesn’t want it he doesn’t deserve it,” Tsarukyan said in a recent live stream with Nina Drama.
“Yesterday I watched the video and I used to be shocked, like, what the f—? Like, should you don’t want it f— you. They already gave me the automobile so I’ve got to provide it away but obviously, I’m gonna give it to certainly one of my followers (now),” Tsarukyan continued.
The 2 are seemingly on a collision course to fight one another next with the Armenian having been the deserved primary contender for a while now.
“I’m gonna f— him up within the fight now, I can’t wait. Should you’re saying you don’t want my truck and also you’re not gonna drive it, f— you. Say thanks as an alternative of being rude, like what the f—? Why are you being such an a——? F—— b—-, I can’t wait to whoop your ass.”
