Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan needs to stop acting 'like a maniac' to get title shot

Dana White commented that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level but advised him to stop behaving like a maniac to secure a title shot. White indicated that Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid problematic behavior to get his championship opportunity. Arman Tsarukyan himself stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely because Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that he will capture the UFC lightweight title within a year and become the face of the sport. White called Tsarukyan a "tough bastard" despite his advice about temperament.
