Tsarukyan says title shot near after Dana White praises recent activity

Dana White commented that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and that to secure a title shot, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid behaving erratically. Tsarukyan himself stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Makhachev will likely retire after a couple more fights. The Armenian fighter claimed he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. The post also mentions several other news items including Costa saying he loves fighting Russians, Whittaker denying rumors of an Ankalaev fight, Hamzat Chimaev making someone tap in 40 seconds, Josh Hockit's bizarre behavior at the event, and Bisping and Cormier becoming coaches on the next TUF season.
