Dariush is confident that he can beat Makhachev

UFC lightweightBeneil Dariush believes he can beat any fighter in the world, including the promotion's featherweight champion Islam Makhachev.

"I truly believe I can beat anyone in the world. Including Makhachev, or anyone else in a title fight. There is no doubt in my mind that I can do it. Things have not been going the way I had hoped lately. But I've been in this position before and turned things around. True, I'm older now, and everyone says, "Nah, he can't do it." But they said the same thing last time. If God wants to perform a miracle, he performs a miracle. That's how I live my life," Dariush said in an interview with MMA Junkie.
