Dana White has commented on Arman Tsarukyan's path to a lightweight title shot, stating he likes the fighter's current activity level. White indicated that Tsarukyan is close to earning a championship opportunity but advised him to stop behaving like a "maniac," also calling him a "tough bastard." Meanwhile, Tsarukyan expressed doubt about fighting Islam Makhachev, predicting the champion will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan boldly claimed he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. The post also mentioned other news including Robert Whittaker denying rumors of a fight with Ankalaev, and Tom Aspinall's unusual behavior toward Curtis Blaydes.
