Ryan Garcia yet to settle $40,000 bet as Arman Tsarukyan and Khamzat Chimaev plot reaction

Tsarukyan told journalist Adam Zubayraev that Garcia’s team asked for the money back to verify the amount and have not returned it.

He said: “Me and Khamzat will talk to Ryan Garcia. He’s not paying his $40,000 bet.”

“He asked to give it back to count it because they weren’t sure and they never gave it back. They said they’ll wire it,” ‘Ahalkalakets’ explained.

The UFC lightweight contender added: “He gave me his word of honour that he will send it to the bank. It’s been 5 days, he hasn’t even asked for my bank information yet.”

Arman Tsarukyan no stranger to high-stakes bets

Tsarukyan has shown a willingness to place significant bets recently.

He previously wagered $10,000 with Georgio Poullas ahead of a wrestling rematch under the Real American Freestyle banner.

He has also attempted to convince Adin Ross to place a $1 million bet on a fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland.

That pattern underlines his comfort with high-value stakes and his positive winning percentage in those cases.
