The trip included a hands-on encounter with crocodiles, where he didn’t hesitate to get involved. And there were cameras rolling when he was offered the chance to get even closer.
The clips from the trip quickly spread across social media, drawing thousands of views within hours. Fans were eager to comment on his growing friendship with Nina Drama and how comfortable he looked around her.
Arman Tsarukyan wrestles a crocodile during live stream
After fighting in Tampa just days earlier, Arman Tsarukyan flew to Fort Lauderdale – a four-hour drive away – where he visited Everglades Holiday Park alongside Nina Drama and N3on.
The entire outing was streamed live on Drama’s Kick channel. The highlight came when they entered an enclosure with a crocodile, and Tsarukyan, sitting on its back, joked about applying a rear naked choke.
Despite receiving the go-ahead from the guides, Tsarukyan wisely avoided putting his arm anywhere near the animal’s mouth, opting instead for a playful gesture. N3on followed up by asking if he could ride it.
The crocodile, which goes by the name Godzilla, was calmly handled by park staff while Tsarukyan amused himself by pretending to ride it like a bucking bronco. Afterwards, he told Godzilla “I’ll see you soon,” drawing laughs from the group.
