Benil Dariush’s next opponent in the UFC has been named

A lightweight fight between Benil Dariush and Benoit Saint-Denis could headline the UFC’s March 30 event in Atlantic City.

Informed sources close to the situation report that the American has agreed to a five-round fight in the main event of the event, and is now awaiting a response from the French side.

Benil Dariush, 34, suffered two straight defeats last year, losing by first-round knockouts to Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan.

Benoit Saint-Denis, 28, is riding a streak of five early wins in the UFC, knocking out Matt Frevola as early as the first round in his last fight.

Benil Dariush and Benoit Saint-Denis are currently ranked seventh and twelfth in the UFC lightweight division rankings, respectively.
