Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan needs title shot but warns against acting like 'maniac'

UFC President Dana White has praised Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity level, stating he likes what he sees from the lightweight contender. White indicated that Tsarukyan is close to earning a title shot and just needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac" to secure the opportunity. White also called Tsarukyan a "tough bastard" while discussing his prospects. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan himself stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely, predicting Makhachev will retire after a few more bouts. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that he will dominate the division within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title.
