Dana White says Tsarukyan must stop acting like 'maniac' for title shot

Dana White has stated that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and that the Armenian fighter only needs to avoid acting like a 'maniac' to secure a title shot. White also referred to Tsarukyan as a 'tough bastard.' The comments suggest Tsarukyan is close to earning his UFC lightweight title opportunity but must maintain discipline. Tsarukyan himself stated in the same post that he believes Islam Makhachev will retire soon and that he will become the face of the UFC once he captures the belt. The post also mentions other updates including Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier becoming coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, and Robert Whittaker denying rumors of a fight with Magomed Ankalaev.
