American lightweight of Iranian descent Beneil Dariush will meet with Pole Mateusz Gamrot on October 22 at the UFC 280 tournament in Abu Dhabi. This is reported by ESPN, citing its own sources.
Dariush, 33, is on an impressive seven win streak. The American has not appeared in the octagon since last May, when he defeated Tony Ferguson by unanimous decision.
31-year-old Gamroth has won four fights in a row. On June 25, the Pole defeated Arman Tsarukyan by unanimous decision.
In an interview with ESPN, Darish said the promotion had promised a title shot to the winner of the bout.
Recall that the UFC 280 tournament will head the fight for the vacant lightweight belt between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.
