Tsarukyan needs to stay disciplined for title shot, says White

Dana White stated he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current level of activity and said the Armenian fighter only needs to avoid behaving like a 'maniac' to earn a title shot. White's comments suggest Tsarukyan is close to securing a championship opportunity. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan himself expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, predicting the champion will retire after a couple more bouts. Tsarukyan claimed he will capture the title within a year and become the face of the UFC. The post also mentions Robert Whittaker denied rumors about fighting Magomed Ankalaev.
