UFC manager Ali Abdelaziz has revealed that the UFC plans to organize a bout between the former interim lightweight champion of the promotion. Dustin Poirier and Beneil Dariush.

“Contracts have not been signed yet, but the UFC wants to organize this fight. I hope everything works out for us. Beneil has no more possible rivals. We could meet with Fiziev, but he just had a nose operation, so only Dustin remains.

I am sure that Dariush will win this fight and fight with Makhachev, who will become the champion by then, ”Abdel-Aziz said in an interview with The Schmo.

Recall that yesterday the fight for the vacant lightweight belt between Charles Olivera and Islam Makhachev was officially announced. Their meeting will take place on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi.
