Top American UFC lightweight Beneil Dariush threatens to riot if the promotion doesn't give him a title shot if he beats the former division champion Charles Oliveira.

Dariush and Oliveira will meet at UFC 289, which will be held on the night of June 11 in Vancouver, Canada.

“UFC bosses are not the type to give their word often. When I spoke with the management, I was informed that if I defeated Oliveira, I would become the main contender. It's not often they give me the floor, but this time they did.

I'll take their word for it. But if I don’t get a title fight, then I’ll probably follow Gaethje’s advice and start a riot, ”Dariush is quoted as saying by MMA News.
