Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan close to title shot if behavior improves

Dana White commented that he is pleased with Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and stated that to earn a title shot, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid behaving like a maniac. The post is part of a longer digest that includes various MMA news items. White's comments suggest Tsarukyan is on the verge of championship contention in the lightweight division. Tsarukyan himself stated that he believes Islam Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights and that he will capture the title and become the face of UFC within a year. The post also mentions Paulo Costa saying he enjoys fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians, and notes ongoing controversy between Islam and Ilia that the poster finds tiresome.
