Arman Tsarukyan targets UFC title, believes Islam will retire soon

Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely to happen as he believes Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that he will capture the lightweight title within a year and become the face of the UFC, with people thinking of the promotion when they see him. He emphasized that all he needs now is to secure the championship belt. Dana White mentioned that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that the Armenian fighter now just needs to avoid acting 'like a maniac' to secure a title shot.
