White says Tsarukyan close to title shot if he avoids 'acting like maniac'

Dana White commented that Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level is impressive and he is close to earning a title shot. White added that Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid behaving like a maniac to secure the championship opportunity. Tsarukyan himself stated he believes Islam Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights and that he will dominate the sport within a year. The Armenian fighter expressed confidence he will become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. White's comments suggest Tsarukyan is in the UFC's good graces and positioned well in the lightweight division rankings.
