Dana White praises Arman Tsarukyan's activity, says title shot within reach

Dana White commented positively on Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity level in the UFC. White stated that to secure a title fight, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid behaving "like a maniac," suggesting the fighter is very close to earning his championship opportunity. White also referred to Tsarukyan as a "tough bastard" while discussing his potential. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan himself expressed confidence that he will capture the title within a year and become the face of the UFC, though he doubts a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen as he believes Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights.
