Lightweight contender Beneil Dariush joins the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer as he prepares for his return to action in February for a showdown with Islam Makhachev.
With seven wins in a row, Dariush climbed near the top of the rankings at 155 pounds but after he took time off to welcome his first child into the world, he’s grown somewhat frustrated after being nearly forgotten when it came to the title picture in the lightweight division.
Dariush will address the fight with Makhachev as well as Justin Gaethje getting the next title shot as well as his take on the upcoming showdown at UFC 269 between Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier. All this and much more on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer.
