UFC lightweightBeneil Dariush believes he can beat any fighter in the world, including the promotion's featherweight champion Islam Makhachev.
"I truly believe I can beat anyone in the world. Including Makhachev, or anyone else in a title fight. There is no doubt in my mind that I can do it. Things have not been going the way I had hoped lately. But I've been in this position before and turned things around. True, I'm older now, and everyone says, "Nah, he can't do it." But they said the same thing last time. If God wants to perform a miracle, he performs a miracle. That's how I live my life," Dariush said in an interview with MMA Junkie.
Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion of the world, spoke about his upcoming fight with Oleksandr Usyk, the WBA, WBO, IBF world champion.
"The fight doesn't come down to being smaller than me and or bigger. I think it's going to depend on who wants to win more. If it's him, then he'll win. If it's me, then I'll win. Either way, I think it's going to be a real treat. He's proven he can fight big heavyweights, he's beaten Joshua and Dubois, and they're pretty big heavyweights. I'll get together with an elite fighter who has more that just skills - he's stubborn and wants to win. We both have talent, we both have pros and cons and it's going to depend on who wants it more," Fury told Queensberry Promotions.
UFC lightweight champion Sean O'Malley has no doubt that he will knock out the next title challenger Merab Dvalishvili.
According to the latest information, the fight between the American and the Georgian could take place on September 14 at UFC 306.
"I'm going to knock Merab out. It can be even easier to do that with wrestlers. Vera was not going to wrestle, so I beat him in the standup for 25 minutes. Sterling went for the wrestling and went for the knockdown. I know I can knock Merab out with one punch or I can torture him for five rounds. I personally prefer to win by knockout, but a master class in beating Merab is fine," Bloody Elbow quoted O'Malley as saying.
UFC lightweight champion Sean O'Malley said he's willing to move up two divisions just for a fight with the promotion's top star Conor McGregor.
"I know what my body is capable of. I'm competing at flyweight, that's where I belong. I could theoretically move up to welterweight to fight Topuria, Volkanovski or Holloway. But going further up, I'm going to have trouble.
I'm willing to move up to lightweight just to fight Conor. That asshole is huge right now. The lightweight is a great fight. It's good money, the fight would be legendary. I'm not likely to agree to fight anyone else that far out of my category," O'Malley told Bradley Martin.
O'Malley's next fight is expected to be against Merab Dvalishvili.
