Gaethje Refuses Million Dollar Truck From Fighter Who Bet on Him
Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #181 with Justin Gaethje & Trevor Wittman
"He bet $1 million on Justin. His friend. And won, he won like 5-3, I believe. 5-7. So he's gonna buy me a truck, but I mean, I would— What kind of truck? I'm not taking the truck from him. What the fuck? If I was Armin, I would force it down your throat. No way. I don't want to ride around in a fucking truck that a dude bought for me every day."
UFC fighter Arman Tsarukyan won approximately $5.7 million betting on Gaethje's victory and offered to buy him a truck in gratitude. Despite Rogan and his coach insisting he earned it, Gaethje refused, stating he cannot accept the gift because they never formally agreed to it. The exchange revealed Gaethje's unusual code of honor and resistance to accepting gifts.
