UFC 300 was a spectacular show with some of the best fighters performing on the card, including Alex Pereira, Max Holloway, Charles Oliveira, and many more. Arman Tsarukyan and Diago Lopes were also on the card, and both these fighters won their fights spectacularly. 

However, Arman Tsarukyan and Diago Lopes' UFC purses were withheld by the NSAC for breaking major rules at UFC 300. The fighting purse of Arman Tsarukyan for his bout against Charles Oliveira was withheld after he attacked a fan in the crowd while walking towards the octagon for his fight against Charles Oliveira.

On the other hand, Arman Tsarukyan's purse was withheld because he jumped on the cage wall after he finished his opponent with a first-round knockout.

Finally, NSAC came to a settlement, cut a percentage from both fighters' purses as punishment, and released the rest of the amount.

According to a report by Nolan King, "The NSAC has officially voted to withhold a portion of Arman Tsarukyan's UFC 300 purse in the amount of $31,600 (20 percent of $158,000) after he swiped at a fan. A formal hearing will be scheduled for May's meeting."

Nolan King also revealed the status of Daigo Lopes's purse saying, "Nevada has voted to withhold $5,000 (of his $100,000), from Diego Lopes for hopping the fence after his UFC 300 win. According to executive director Jeff Mullen, he saw UFC CEO Dana White signal approval for Lopes to make the hop and White then told Mullen he'd cover the fine."
