Top lightweight UFC Beneil Dariush said that the management of the promotion is exploring the possibility of organizing his fight against the ex-champion of the division Charles Olivera in May.

“Initially, the UFC was interested in the fight in Brazil. Then I asked to give me some time to heal my knee. In the end, it turned out that everything was not so bad. Then they said, "OK, we can fight in February." Then February became March, March became April, and now they talk about May. I have waited before, so there is no complete certainty, ”Dariush said in an interview with The Schmo YouTube channel.

Recall that Dariush leads a series of eight victories in a row. The American fought his last fight in October last year, defeating Mateusz Gamrot by unanimous decision.
