Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan just needs to avoid acting like a maniac

UFC President Dana White stated that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and that the lightweight contender only needs to stop behaving like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. White praised Tsarukyan's recent form while offering advice on his conduct. Separately, Tsarukyan himself claimed that Islam Makhachev will likely retire after a couple more fights and that he will capture the title and become the face of the UFC within a year. White also called Tsarukyan a "tough bastard." The comments suggest Tsarukyan is close to earning his championship opportunity if he maintains composure.
