Dana White says Tsarukyan needs title shot after avoiding 'maniac' behavior

Dana White has commented on Arman Tsarukyan's current trajectory toward a title shot, stating that he likes Tsarukyan's recent activity level. According to White, the Armenian lightweight now only needs to avoid acting like a 'maniac' to secure his championship opportunity. Separately, Tsarukyan himself expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will materialize, predicting that Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan stated his ambition to take over the sport within a year, become the face of the UFC, and that people will think of him when they think of the organization. He emphasized that all he needs now is to capture the title.
