Dana White says Arman Tsarukyan close to title shot with current activity

Dana White commented that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current level of activity and that the Armenian fighter is close to earning a title shot. According to White, Tsarukyan now just needs to avoid behaving "like a maniac" to secure his championship opportunity. In a separate quote, Tsarukyan expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, suggesting Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan declared confidence that he will capture the sport within a year and become the face of UFC once he obtains the title. The post also mentions other news items including that Robert Whittaker denied rumors about fighting Magomed Ankalaev, and that Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will be coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
