Dana White praises Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity, says title shot near

Dana White commented positively on Arman Tsarukyan's recent fighting activity. White stated that to secure a title shot, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid acting like a "maniac." Tsarukyan himself expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, predicting Islam will retire after a couple more fights. The Armenian fighter stated he plans to take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. The post also mentions ongoing drama between Islam and Ilia Topuria that White characterized as a "soap opera" until the truth emerges. White's comments suggest Tsarukyan is very close to earning his championship opportunity.
