Tsarukyan says capturing UFC title is all that remains to become face of sport

Arman Tsarukyan stated that he believes he will dominate the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. The Armenian fighter expressed doubt that his potential bout with Islam Makhachev will materialize, suggesting Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan believes that once he wins the championship, everyone will think of UFC when they see him. Dana White commented that Tsarukyan's current activity level is impressive and that he only needs to avoid behaving like a maniac to secure a title shot. The report also mentions that Tsarukyan is positioning himself as the future of the lightweight division.
