Arman Tsarukyan reveals ambitious post-title deal beyond fighting

Arman Tsarukyan is aiming to land a major streaming deal amid UFC hiatus

Even though he hasn’t been active in the UFC lately, Arman Tsarukyan’s profile has only grown. He’s now considered one of the more well-known names in the sport.

Part of that rise is thanks to his regular appearances on live streams with big names like Adin Ross and Neon, which have brought him closer to a new audience.

Now, seeing both the growth in his following and the potential financial rewards, Tsarukyan has outlined plans to sign with a major platform and take streaming more seriously.

“Once I have a fight, I’ll slow down (with social media) and focus on preparation. I’ll have Sunday to shoot content, and maybe half a day on Wednesday for content,” Tsarukyan told the Hustle Vlog with Adam Zubayraev.

“Yeah, I want to sign a big contract first, then start streaming. Well, there are different platforms, but I want to start streaming after I become a champion.”

Streaming isn’t unfamiliar territory for former fighters either. Rampage Jackson has found considerable success in this space since hanging up his gloves.

He’s gone as far as saying he’s made more money streaming than during his entire fighting career—this coming from someone who was among the sport’s top draws.

For now, though, it is expected that he could run it back against Charles Oliveira while he waits for his undisputed title shot against Islam Makhachev. However, nothing official has been confirmed.
