Dana White praises Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity, says title shot near

Dana White expressed approval of Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and indicated the Armenian fighter is close to earning a title shot. According to White, Tsarukyan now only needs to avoid behaving erratically to secure his championship opportunity. Tsarukyan himself stated that he believes Islam Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights, and that he will dominate the sport within a year. The lightweight contender declared his intention to become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. The comments come amid ongoing tension and accusations between Makhachev and Ilia Topuria.
