Dana White says Tsarukyan close to title shot if behavior remains professional

Dana White stated that Arman Tsarukyan is pleased with his current activity level and is close to earning a title shot, needing only to maintain professional behavior. White indicated that avoiding erratic conduct is the final requirement for Tsarukyan to secure the championship opportunity. The comments suggest Tsarukyan's path to a title fight is largely dependent on conduct rather than sporting achievement at this point. Tsarukyan himself commented that he believes Islam Makhachev will retire after a few more fights and that he plans to become the face of UFC within a year. Additional notes in the post mention Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier becoming coaches for a new TUF season, and Josh Hockit's bizarre behavior at UFC 327.
