White praises Tsarukyan's activity, says title shot hinges on avoiding controversy

Dana White expressed satisfaction with Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and indicated the Armenian fighter is close to earning a title shot. According to White, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid acting "like a maniac" to secure his championship opportunity. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as he expects Makhachev to retire after a couple more bouts. Tsarukyan declared he plans to dominate the sport within a year and become the face of UFC once he captures the title. The post suggests Tsarukyan is one step away from a title shot if he maintains professional conduct.
