DANA WHITE reckons the UFC could be facing legal action following Arman Tsarukyan’s antics at UFC 300.
The lightweight standout delivered a sensational punch to a fan when he stepped into the Octagon to face Charles Oliveira on last weekend’s historic main card.

Tsaukyan surprised the world watching throw a right hand to the MMA fan after hugging several other paying bettors.
UFC commentators Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier were stunned by what they saw, with the latter saying: “It’s crazy to see him do that.
“You want to be locked up so much.
“That must be a big deal for Arman, what happened to him on the way to the Octagon.”
White was also surprised by Tsarukyan’s pre-fight jab, which he admits could result in a lawsuit against the promotion.
He said, “Yeah, you might not want to hang the thing up and grab people as they’re leaving.
“These guys are all really excited and everything.
“We’ll probably get sued, we’ll deal with that on Monday as well.”

Tsarukyan defended his actions shortly after his decision win over Oliveira, which put him on track to fight the champion’s winner Islam Makhachev’s June joust with Dustin Poirier.
The Armenian-born Russian said: “He showed me ‘Fuck you’.
“And he wanted to punch me and I wanted to punch him back.
“That’s it. So guys, don’t anyone show me ‘Fuck you’. I don’t care who you are, I’m going to punch you in the face.
“You can show me ‘F***’ from like 200 meters, I won’t punch you.
“But when you’re around me, it’s automatically I’m from Russia.
“Don’t do this, please, or I’ll go to prison in U.S”
