Dariush listed possible opponents after defeat by Tsarukyan

Number seven in the UFC lightweight division rankings Beneil Dariush named the fighters with whom he could share the Octagon next year.

“I imagine a rematch with Klose’s Drakkar, although, to be honest, it doesn’t bother me that much. Although if the UFC decides so... Someone was talking about Hooker, he called me out before. Dan is a great fighter and has a great history in the UFC.

Paddy Pimblett? I don't know if this option is suitable. I've always wanted to fight guys ahead of me in the rankings, but right now I'm not in a strong position. Who else? Rafael Fiziev is injured. Benoit Saint Denis? This is another option,” the American said in an interview with Submission Radio.

Let us remind you that on December 3 at the UFC on ESPN 52 tournament, Dariush was knocked out in the first round by Arman Tsarukyan.
