Arman Tsarukyan made it clear how much he earns if he loses a duel and what the money is then used for.

– If I lose they pay me $150,000. Of this, a minimum of 30% is immediately taken away by taxes. Of what is left, half is allocated as follows: 5% to the club, 5% to the coach, 15% to the manager, the rest goes to preparation. In fact, the winnings and bonus are the motivation, but usually MMA fighters lose out on all this. We actually make money through sponsors.

Thus, Arman pointed out that it is the desire to earn extra money for winning that is one of the main reasons that motivate players to work hard and beat their rivals.
