Dana White praises Tsarukyan but warns him to stop being a maniac

Dana White stated that he likes Arman Tsarukyan and his current activity level in the lightweight division. However, the UFC president advised Tsarukyan to stop behaving like a "maniac" if he wants to secure a title shot. White also called the Armenian fighter a "tough bastard," showing respect for his abilities. The comments suggest that while Tsarukyan is close to earning a championship opportunity, his behavior outside the octagon may be affecting his standing with UFC leadership. White's remarks indicate that Tsarukyan's in-cage performance is impressive, but management expects more professional conduct to move forward with a title fight.
