Dana White praises Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level

Dana White has expressed approval of Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity and stated that to secure a title shot, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid behaving like a maniac. This suggests Tsarukyan is close to earning championship consideration. The comment comes amid broader news including Robert Whittaker denying rumors about a fight with Magomed Ankalaev. Paulo Costa also commented that he enjoys fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians. Arman Tsarukyan himself stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Makhachev will likely retire after a couple more bouts, and that he plans to capture the title and become the face of the UFC within a year.
