WASHINGTON, D.C., June 16, 2026 — Someone from Arman Tsarukyan’s camp placed a $1 million bet on Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250 and collected $5.7 million through jack.com. Tsarukyan is the UFC’s second-ranked lightweight. Gaethje entered the June 14 card, held on the South Lawn of the White House, as a heavy underdog. He stopped defending champion Ilia Topuria in the fourth round. UFC CEO Dana White said the bet came from Tsarukyan’s camp, not Tsarukyan personally.
Where Did Arman Tsarukyan’s Camp Place the Bet?
jack.com is the Curaçao-licensed international sportsbook where the $1 million bet on Gaethje was placed. Jack casino operates outside the US state-licensed market and accepts bets in cryptocurrency and fiat from customers worldwide. jack.com processed the $5.7 million payout following confirmation of the UFC Freedom 250 result.
Asked whether Tsarukyan placed the bet himself, UFC CEO Dana White was direct.
“No! From what I heard, Arman didn’t. It was one of his buddies that did that,” White said.
How Did a $1 Million Bet at +470 Odds Return $5.7 Million?
At +470, the implied line on a heavy underdog, a $1 million stake returns $5.7 million: $4.7 million in profit plus the original stake. Gaethje opened well above that line against Topuria; the ticket was placed on jack.com before fight-week sharpening brought the number down. When Gaethje stopped Topuria in the fourth round, the bet paid.
Gaethje’s win ended Topuria’s reign and made him the new undisputed UFC lightweight champion. Several outlets called it one of the biggest upsets in the division’s recent history. All seven bouts on the card ended inside the distance.
Tsarukyan, is expected to challenge for the title later in 2026.
