Dana White expressed that he likes Arman Tsarukyan and called him a "tough bastard" during recent comments. However, the UFC president advised Tsarukyan to stop being a "maniac" as he continues his path toward a potential title shot. White's comments suggest approval of Tsarukyan's fighting abilities and recent activity while also indicating concern about some aspects of his behavior. The lightweight contender appears to be in White's good graces despite needing to temper certain tendencies. The remarks provide insight into how close Tsarukyan may be to earning a championship opportunity.
