Quick read
Dana White has stated that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and indicated that the Armenian fighter is close to earning a title shot. According to White, Tsarukyan now only needs to avoid behaving "like a maniac" to secure his opportunity at the championship. White also referred to Tsarukyan as a "tough bastard" while praising his recent performances. Tsarukyan himself has expressed confidence that he will capture the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC, though he doubts a fight with Islam Makhachev will materialize. The comments suggest Tsarukyan is in a strong position in the lightweight division rankings.
