Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan needs to stop acting like 'maniac' for title shot

UFC President Dana White commented on Arman Tsarukyan's current standing in the lightweight division, stating he likes the fighter's recent activity level. White indicated that Tsarukyan is close to earning a title shot but advised him to stop behaving like a 'maniac' and called him a 'tough bastard.' Meanwhile, Tsarukyan himself expressed doubts about fighting Islam Makhachev, predicting the champion will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan declared his intention to capture the title within a year and become the face of UFC. The Armenian fighter believes he will dominate the sport once he secures championship gold.
