Tsarukyan's $5.7M Betting Win: A Record-Breaking UFC Bet Paid in Full

A significant betting win has been reported in the world of UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) betting. Arman Tsarukyan's camp placed a $1 million bet on Justin Gaethje to win against Ilia Topuria at UFC Freedom 250, held on June 14, 2026.

Gaethje was considered a heavy underdog, with most books opening him around +440 and moving to roughly +400 by fight week. However, jack.com's line was closer to +470, making Gaethje a significant bet for Tsarukyan's camp.

The fight ended in Round 4, corner stoppage, with Topuria's vision going and Gaethje taking the undisputed title. Tsarukyan, who was on a transatlantic flight at the time of the event, described what stopped it later in post-fight interviews: 'You can see like you're losing your eye, cannot, see and why you should go and someone going to knock you out.'

jack.com, a crypto sportsbook, paid Tsarukyan's camp $5.7 million after the win, which is one of the biggest UFC betting wins on record.
