Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan needs title shot but must avoid being 'maniac'

Dana White commented on Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and path to a title shot. White stated that he likes Tsarukyan's recent activity and that the Armenian fighter now just needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac" to secure his title opportunity. Separately, Tsarukyan expressed doubt about fighting Islam Makhachev, suggesting the champion will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan predicted he will dominate the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. White also referred to Tsarukyan as a "tough bastard" in his assessment.
