Quick read
Dana White stated he appreciates Arman Tsarukyan's current level of activity and believes the lightweight contender is close to earning a title shot. White advised Tsarukyan to avoid behaving like a 'maniac' as his final step toward a championship opportunity. White also called Tsarukyan a 'tough bastard' in his assessment. The UFC president's comments suggest Tsarukyan is one fight away from facing Islam Makhachev for the title. Tsarukyan himself stated he believes he'll capture the sport within a year and become the face of UFC, though he doubts the Makhachev fight will happen as Islam may retire soon.
