**Patrick Bet-David** (0:00)
The world knows you as a fighter, like you're an incredible fighter, entertaining fighter, feisty fighter, wrestling, all of it. But content creation, I don't know if anybody's creating better content than you today.

**Arman Tsarukyan** (0:11)
You got to take it and do it by yourself. If you fail, stand up and go try it again.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:17)
You're the one fight nobody wants, right? You're the guy that everybody wants to delay.

**Arman Tsarukyan** (0:22)
This sport is getting big because of drama, not because of fighting, like Conor Haviv, Diaz.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:28)
What's the next big one for you? Buddy, don't say that. Are you serious?

**Arman Tsarukyan** (0:33)
They send me contract, I sign and give it back.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:35)
Take the fight against Ilja 4-0, you take it, don't pay me nothing.

**Arman Tsarukyan** (0:38)
It's okay, I'll fight for you, USA.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:41)
Fight for USA?

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:43)
I look forward to the day we celebrate as the first Armenian UFC champion.

**Arman Tsarukyan** (0:48)
Yeah, so when I get the belt, I flew out here and put the belt on this table and we talk again.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:53)
100 percent. Arman Tsarukyan, how are you?

**Arman Tsarukyan** (1:03)
Great, thank you, how are you?

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:04)
Do we want to do this in Armenian or in English?

**Arman Tsarukyan** (1:09)
In English, if I don't understand, I'm gonna talk to you in Armenian. So it's my first time when someone knows Armenian in English, so it's for me.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:19)
I'm gonna be both the translator and the interviewer, which is gonna be good.

**Arman Tsarukyan** (1:22)
Yeah, I always have my friend, he's sitting and listening to the old podcast. If I don't understand the question, I always ask him, and now I say, well, today you can leave.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:31)
You don't need the translation.

**Arman Tsarukyan** (1:32)
Yeah, if I don't understand something, I'll let you know.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:35)
I gotta tell you, I messaged you, what was it, two months ago, three months ago, I said, brother, what are you doing with all this content? Of course, the world knows you as a fighter, like you're an incredible fighter, entertaining fighter, feisty fighter, wrestling, all of it, but content creation, I don't know if anybody's creating better content than you today. How did that happen?

**Arman Tsarukyan** (1:55)
It's come naturally, you know, I have a good lifestyle.
I can afford flight, private jet, yachts, and I love that lifestyle and people love it too. So the nice cars, when I posted like a food and so I post maybe three years ago when I was eating in and out and it went viral, I had maybe like 300 or 400,000 followers and it was like six, seven millions. And I said, okay, maybe people like, because I fought versus Damil Ismagulov, I beat him. I gained like 40,000 likes for the winning.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:36)
Right after the fight.

**Arman Tsarukyan** (2:36)
Yeah, but when I post the in and out, I got 250,000 likes. I said, why I beat this guy? Like, and I didn't go viral and I just post the burgers and I went viral. So, and I decided like to do something more with my social media.
But like last half, last six months, we just crush it and like nonstop working. And, you know, I don't push myself. It's like come natural and it's easy for me. So people think I have like a big team, like we just create something crazy every day, thinking about like reels, what are we gonna post, this, that it's like every post, almost every reels is like almost my lifestyle, you know, we don't, we just create by-

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:27)
All organic. Just kinda like, hey, why don't we do-

**Arman Tsarukyan** (3:29)
Yeah, we don't think, even like Arsene Hall, he came to me and said, bro, what are we gonna do? I said, we're gonna train, do something. And they just, we just create from there. Because if we're gonna think and see, it's not gonna be natural. So come, we wrestle, we box, we run, we eat, and then we film something.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:49)
You know, it's one of the ones I like, Rob, can you go back? It was, I think it was a skiing one or a snowboarding one. Keep going the other way, Rob, keep going lower, lower. You did a snowboarding clip.

**Arman Tsarukyan** (3:59)
Yeah.

**Patrick Bet-David** (4:00)
It's gotta come up. Keep going, keep going, keep going. It was hilarious, the way you posted. I don't know which one it is. If it's still going, go down a little bit more, Rob.
