Dana White says Tsarukyan needs to avoid 'maniac behavior' to get title shot

UFC president Dana White commented that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and stated that to secure a title shot, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid behaving like a maniac. The comment suggests Tsarukyan is close to earning a championship opportunity based on his recent performances. White's statement indicates that behavioral concerns, rather than competitive merit, are the primary remaining obstacle for the lightweight contender. Tsarukyan himself expressed confidence that he will capture the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he gets the title. He also suggested that Islam Makhachev will likely retire after a couple more fights, making the title more accessible.
