Dana White praises Arman Tsarukyan's activity, advises against maniacal behavior

Dana White said he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and indicated that Tsarukyan only needs to avoid behaving like a maniac to secure a title shot. Tsarukyan himself stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely to happen, predicting that Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. The Armenian fighter claimed he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. White's comments suggest Tsarukyan is close to earning a championship opportunity. The post also includes brief mentions of other fighters including Costa's comments on Russians, Whittaker denying Ankalaev rumors, and Khamzat submitting someone in 40 seconds.
