Dana White praises Arman Tsarukyan's activity, says title shot within reach

Dana White commented that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current level of activity and said Tsarukyan just needs to avoid acting like a maniac to secure a title shot. Tsarukyan himself stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely to happen, predicting Islam will retire after a couple more fights. The Armenian fighter declared he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that when people see him, they will think of the UFC. The post also mentioned that Paulo Costa said he loves fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians, and noted developments involving Robert Whittaker, Michael Bisping, Daniel Cormier, and Khamzat Chimaev forcing someone to tap in 40 seconds.
