Arman Tsarukyan has increasingly appeared across livestream platforms in recent months, building a presence beyond the UFC through collaborations with high-profile online personalities.
He has featured alongside Adin Ross, Ryan Garcia and Neon, while also appearing on Saturday with Neon and his long-time friend and streamer Nina Drama.
However, his behaviour during those streams has sparked debate, with one particular incident drawing strong reactions from viewers across social media.
Arman Tsarukyan sparks backlash after shoving Nina Drama into the pool
Tsarukyan drew criticism after unexpectedly shoving Nina Drama into a swimming pool while she was fully clothed and reportedly had $10,000 in cash in her pocket at the time.
The moment quickly circulated online, with many viewers questioning the Armenian’s behaviour.
Several fans reacted strongly on X, criticising the UFC fighter’s conduct in blunt terms.
“Not even funny. Dude’s on a sc—— path of destruction for awhile now and just more reasons for the UFC not to give this guy a title shot”
“This is what Ilia meant. He’s an idiot.”
“Arman probably has around 89 to 92 IQ.”
“I hope he paid her the money back.”
The backlash adds to growing scrutiny around Tsarukyan’s behaviour outside the cage, particularly as he continues to position himself as a contender in the UFC lightweight division.
Arman Tsarukyan also shoved Neon and mocked him afterwards
Earlier in the same stream, Tsarukyan had already pushed Neon into the pool, setting the tone for what followed.
He later mocked the streamer, claiming he had done him a favour by giving him a “shower” in front of viewers.
When Neon threatened revenge, Tsarukyan escalated the situation further with his response.
He claimed he would throw the streamer back into the pool again with all his bodyguards.
