Dana White praises Tsarukyan's activity, says title shot requires avoiding controversy

Dana White commented that he likes Arman Tsarukyan's current level of fighting activity. White stated that to secure a title shot, Tsarukyan now only needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac" or creating controversy. The UFC president's comments suggest Tsarukyan is close to earning a championship opportunity based on his performance and activity level. Tsarukyan himself stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. The Armenian fighter expressed confidence he will capture the title within a year and become the face of the UFC.
