Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan close to title shot if he avoids trouble

UFC President Dana White commented that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and that the fighter only needs to avoid acting recklessly to secure a title shot. Tsarukyan himself stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. The Armenian fighter claimed he will dominate the sport within a year and become the face of UFC once he captures the title. White's comments suggest Tsarukyan is on track for a championship opportunity with continued positive behavior. The post also mentions various other news items including Paulo Costa saying he enjoys fighting Russians and Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier being announced as coaches for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
