Dana White calls Tsarukyan a 'tough bastard' but warns him to stop being maniac

UFC President Dana White praised lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan, calling him a "tough bastard" during recent comments. However, White also advised Tsarukyan to stop behaving like a "maniac" if he wants to continue his trajectory toward a title shot. The comments suggest White appreciates Tsarukyan's fighting ability but has concerns about his behaviour outside the octagon. White's remarks indicate that Tsarukyan is close to earning significant opportunities in the UFC's lightweight division. The warning about his conduct implies recent incidents or patterns of behaviour that the UFC president wants addressed.
