Dana White calls Arman Tsarukyan tough but advises against 'maniac' behavior

UFC President Dana White has publicly praised Arman Tsarukyan while offering him advice on his conduct. White said he likes Tsarukyan and called him a 'tough bastard,' recognizing the lightweight contender's skills and potential. However, the UFC boss also counseled Tsarukyan to stop being a 'maniac,' suggesting concerns about the fighter's behavior at events or in public. The comments reflect White's dual assessment of Tsarukyan as both a talented fighter and someone who may need to adjust his approach outside the octagon. Tsarukyan has been climbing the lightweight rankings and appears positioned for high-profile matchups.
