Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan needs title shot but must stop acting crazy

Dana White commented on Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level, stating that he likes what he's seeing from the lightweight contender. White indicated that Tsarukyan is close to earning a title shot and essentially just needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac" to secure the opportunity. White also called Tsarukyan a "tough bastard" in his assessment. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan himself expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, suggesting Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan claimed he will dominate the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title.
