Dana White praises Arman Tsarukyan's activity, says title shot within reach

Dana White stated that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and said the Armenian fighter just needs to avoid acting like a maniac to secure a title shot. Tsarukyan himself claimed that Islam Makhachev will likely end his career within a couple of fights, and predicted he will capture the lightweight title within a year. He expressed confidence he will become the face of UFC. Additionally, Paulo Costa said he enjoys fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians. Robert Whittaker denied rumors of a fight with Magomed Ankalaev.
