Top American lightweight Beneil Dariush told why he accepted the fight against the Russian Arman Tsarukyan.
Let us remind you that the meeting of these fighters will headline the UFC Fight Night 233 tournament, which will take place on December 2 in Austin.
“Nobody wants to fight with Tsarukyan? I wouldn't be surprised if these rumors are true. When Arman fought with Gamrot, and Mateusz won, I challenged Gamrot to a fight. I just want to be able to fight the best guys in the world before I retire. And I think Armand is one of the best. Possibly a future UFC champion. By the way, I can say the same about Gamrot,” Dariush said in an interview with ESPN MMA.
