Oliveira explained the failure of the fight with Dariush

“I couldn’t train after an injury during a wrestling session. I wanted to continue working as usual, but it was impossible. Therefore, we had to withdraw from the fight. I need a few days to recover, then I will return to training and our fight will get a new date.

I have a little damage, that's all. I decided to withdraw so as not to fight with the injury. I already made such a mistake, I didn’t want to repeat it, ”Ag Fight quotes the Brazilian.

It is worth noting that, according to the latest information, the fight between Oliveira and Dariush will be rescheduled for UFC 289. The event will take place on June 10 in Vancouver, Canada.
