Have you heard of the Kardashian sisters? Of course you have, who hasn’t? The Kardashian family is one of the richest celebrity dynasties in America, with a combined net worth in the billions. From their hit reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians to their successful clothing and makeup lines, they’ve become a staple in the world of entertainment and business. Kim Kardashian alone has an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, while Kylie Jenner is estimated at $1 billion. But why are we suddenly talking about them?
Well, the Kardashians have a surprising connection to the UFC. Don’t worry—they’re not out there punching or head-butting anyone. However, Kim has previously been linked to UFC stars like Francis Ngannou. How, you ask? We’ll get to that in a bit. More recently, her name came up again. This time, it was on the JAXXON podcast hosted by former 205-pound kingpin Quinton Rampage Jackson. During a recent episode, Rampage asked #1 ranked 155fer Arman Tsarukyan about the Kardashian family.
Rampage started by asking, “The Kardashians, how do you like them. They are Armenian.” Tsarukyan gave a tentative reply, saying, “I think so, I don’t know.” Interestingly, the Kardashians are indeed of Armenian descent. Their father, Robert Kardashian, was of Armenian heritage. Jackson kept probing, asking, “Do you think she is hot? What’s her name? Kim Kardashian?… Are you married?” That’s when co-host Bear Degidio jumped in with a laugh, saying, “He’s married. In their culture, they don’t do all that weird stuff like that you do.” Amid the laughter and playful teasing, Tsarukyan finally responded, “I don’t know she is hot.”
That’s when Degidio jumped in yet again and asked, “Who’s hot? Kourtney, Chloe, or Kim?” A confused Tsarukyan asked, “Who?!” However, he proceeded with the safest answer any man could have given at that point. “Everybody,” Tsarukyan said, which means he called all three Kardashian sisters hot.

From dating rumors to fight breakdowns, the Kardashians have found their way into the UFC universe more than once—and it’s been pure entertainment. One of the most hilarious crossovers came in December 2024 when former UFC champions Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo broke down a classic Kardashian clash on their show Pound 4 Pound. The fight in question? The infamous 2020 throwdown between Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.
Usman, always ready with sharp analysis, playfully praised the technique on display. “There are so many skills on display,” he said with a laugh. “Immediately, you see Kourtney approach and Kim pulls guard. You see, Kim pulls guard right away. Feet up, upkicks create separation. Gets back to her feet. Kim sizes up the opponent, sees what’s going on, and delivers the right hand to the shoulder.” Cejudo chimed in, adding his commentary like it was a title bout. The segment quickly went viral—and honestly, it deserved to.
But that’s not the only UFC-Kardashian crossover that’s made headlines. Earlier, rumors swirled about former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and Kim Kardashian being romantically linked. While nothing was ever confirmed, the internet ran wild with speculation.
Were Kim Kardashian and Francis Ngannou dating?
Back in 2024, the internet nearly broke when Francis Ngannou and Kim Kardashian had a bizarre yet hilarious social media exchange that sparked dating rumors. It all started when Kim posted one of her signature car selfies with the cryptic caption: “miss u.” Naturally, fans went wild trying to figure out who she was talking about.
Enter Ngannou, who wasted no time jumping into the mix. In true internet-savvy fashion, he responded with a meme of comedian Druski pointing at himself with that classic “Is it me you’re missing?” look. The post blew up instantly, sending MMA media into a frenzy and fueling speculation about a possible Kardashian-Ngannou crossover.
Though the dating rumors eventually fizzled out, that moment remains one of the more unexpected (and hilarious) pop culture collisions in MMA memory. But fast forward to now, and who would’ve guessed the latest crossover would involve Arman Tsarukyan? Wild times. What do you think about this unexpected linkup?
