Arman Tsarukyan was issued a nine-month suspension with a chance to have that reduced to six months after he got into an altercation with a fan at UFC 300.
On Tuesday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission approved an adjudication agreement with Tsarukyan suspended until Jan. 12, 2025 and he faces a $25,000 fine along with $471.12 in prosecution fees that must be paid.
As a result of the altercation back in April, Tsarukyan’s purse was withheld but once the fine is pulled out of his paycheck, the remaining funds will be released to him in accordance with the agreement he made with the commission. The incident occurred as Tsarukyan was walking to the cage for his fight against Charles Oliveira when he got physical with a fan shouting at him from the crowd.
“He showed me ‘F*ck you’ and he wanted to punch me and I wanted to punch him back,” Tsarukyan said after the event. “That’s it. So guys, no one show me ‘F*ck you.’ It doesn’t matter who you are, I’m going to punch you in the face.”
