UFC President Dana White has publicly commented on Arman Tsarukyan, expressing appreciation for the lightweight contender while offering specific behavioral advice. White stated he likes Tsarukyan but recommended he stop acting like a 'maniac,' suggesting that temperament concerns may be affecting his path to a title shot. Despite the cautionary note, White also referred to Tsarukyan as a 'tough bastard,' indicating respect for his fighting abilities. The comments suggest Tsarukyan is close to earning a championship opportunity but needs to demonstrate more composure outside the octagon.
