White says Tsarukyan close to title shot if he avoids trouble

Dana White commented positively on Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity level and indicated the Armenian fighter is close to earning a title shot. According to White, Tsarukyan now only needs to avoid behaving recklessly to secure his championship opportunity. Tsarukyan himself expressed confidence about capturing the title within a year and believes he will become the face of UFC. The fighter also suggested that Islam Makhachev may retire after a couple more fights, making a matchup between them unlikely. Tsarukyan stated that once he has the title, seeing him will make people think of UFC.
