Beneil Dariush, the ninth ranked lightweight in the UFC, is confident that he could compete with the former promotion champion in this weight class, Islam Makhachev.
āIt would have been a finish. None of us have ever lost by decision. I donāt think I would have given up. I am sure I would have won,ā said Dariush in an interview with MMAJunkie.
Recall that Makhachev vacated the title and moved up to welterweight.
