“I think Arman will fight Dariush. I’m not sure that the fight is already organized, but at the moment it is in development – I was told so, ”MMAnews quotes the American.
26-year-old Arman Tsarukyan scored a second victory in a row three weeks ago, finishing with a third-round TKO of Joaquim Silva, and 34-year-old Benil Dariush broke an eight-fight streak a month ago, losing in a potential challenger bout to Charles Oliveira by TKO in the first round.
At the same time, Dariush agreed to fight with Tsarukyan, when Oliveira’s participation in the fight was in doubt, and the Russian volunteered to come on as a substitute.
Currently, Benil Dariush and Arman Tsarukyan are ranked fourth and eighth in the UFC lightweight rankings, respectively.
