Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan needs to avoid acting like a maniac for title shot

UFC President Dana White stated that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and 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 championship opportunity. Tsarukyan himself commented that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely because Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. The Armenian contender expressed confidence that he will capture the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he obtains the title. White's comments suggest Tsarukyan is in a strong position for a future title opportunity in the lightweight division.
