Arman Tsarukyan had always flaunted his ultra-luxurious lifestyle on social media. Meanwhile, many UFC stars had called out Tsarukyan for being a spoiled rich kid. Now, Khamzat Chimaev also jumped into the conversation and told the 29-year-old to stay humble.
In recent times, Tsarukyan and Chimaev have become good friends and helped each other in training. “Borz” had trolled the Armenian fighter multiple times during his wrestling matches against smaller, older guys. Now the middleweight champion jokingly told Tsarukyan to stay humble and stop focusing on flashy cars.
The number two-ranked lightweight fighter laughed and said he was broke. Replying to that, the middleweight champion said in a video, “Money is not everything. We need to make him humble.”
The Chechen fighter is preparing very hard for his upcoming fight against Sean Strickland, which is just weeks away. Tsarukyan also trains with “Borz” for his wrestling matches, and recently the Armenian fighter marked his win at RAF 08 against Urijah Faber.

Khamzat Chimaev joked that Arman Tsarukyan took out his flight frustration on Urijah Faber at RAF 08, where he pushed Faber into the crowd while taking him down. Tsarukyan was removed from an American Airlines flight before the event. After the event, the Chechen fighter said:
“He wanted revenge for what happened on the plane.”

It was clearly a joke, but it added another viral layer to Tsarukyan’s chaotic week. The Armenian fighter was very active outside the UFC, and fans hoped he would fight soon for a title in the UFC.
