Beneil Dariush, a fighter in the UFC lightweight division, spoke out about which of the Kazakh fighters the promotion needs to sign. According to Dariush, the UFC needs to pay attention to Nikolai Veretennikov.
“I hope it happens. I think he deserves this for a long time. The UFC needs to give Nikolai a chance."
It is worth noting that Veretennikov could have entered the UFC back in 2012, but then lost in Dana White’s challenger series to Ecuadorian Michael Morales by decision.
