Arman Tsarukyan, the talented lightweight fighter, found himself in hot water after a pre-fight incident during his walkout at UFC 300 on April 13. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) has taken decisive action, withholding a portion of his fight purse due to his actions.

As Arman Tsarukyan made his way to the cage, a fan reportedly flipped him off and provoked him. In response, Tsarukyan threw a punch at the fan. While the fan later apologized and decided not to press charges, the NSAC still took the matter seriously.

During a meeting, the NSAC voted to withhold 20% of Tsarukyan’s $158,000 purse, amounting to $31,600. This penalty serves as a consequence of his actions and sends a message that such behavior is unacceptable. Tsarukyan’s decision to engage with the fan has financial repercussions beyond the adrenaline of the fight.

Arman Tsarukyan and his team will face a full disciplinary hearing next month. The NSAC will thoroughly review the incident and determine any further consequences. Until then, the withheld amount remains in the commission’s possession.

Arman Tsarukyan’s Victory

Despite the controversy, Arman Tsarukyan secured a split-decision victory against Charles Oliveira at UFC 300. His performance inside the Octagon showcased his skills, but the fan altercation has cast a shadow over his achievement.

As the lightweight division continues to evolve, fighters must maintain professionalism both inside and outside the cage. Arman Tsarukyan’s case serves as a reminder that actions have consequences, even in the heat of the moment. It is hard to say who is in the wrong here as fighters walk into the ring with a totally different mentality and fans are there just to enjoy themselves. The focus fighters have to have before a fight is just unreal so even the slightest distraction can infuriate a combat artist before a fight of this magnitude.
