Arman Tsarukyan is already thinking about life beyond the Octagon and appears to have another venture lined up.

He hasn’t fought in the UFC since November, but that hasn’t kept him out of action. Tsarukyan has racked up seven appearances in grappling and wrestling competitions since then.

His most recent match was under the RAF banner against UFC veteran Urijah Faber. During his tech fall win, Tsarukyan sparked controversy again by launching himself off the mat with Faber.

Without any upcoming UFC bookings on the horizon, Tsarukyan said he’s looking to sign a deal with a major streaming platform and shift his focus to content creation.

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.
