Tsarukyan could become UFC's face if he captures title, says Dana White

Dana White commented positively on Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity level, stating that Tsarukyan now just needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. Tsarukyan himself claimed that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. The Armenian fighter predicted he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. White's endorsement suggests Tsarukyan is close to earning his championship opportunity. Other news mentioned includes Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier becoming coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, and Josh Hokit's bizarre pre-fight behavior that has even drawn rare support for Curtis Blaydes.
