American lightweight of Assyrian origin Beneil Dariush spoke about the recently announced confrontation with Russian Islam Makhachev.
“Why will I become a difficult test for Makhachev? He is left handed, like me. He may be a little taller than me, but we are about the same height,” Dariusz said in an interview with ESPN. “Not only are we good wrestlers, but we also fight in the standing position, which is why people think that I will be a difficult test for him, because we mirror each other. Everything he does, I do. The winner will be the one who more accurately fulfills the plan for the battle, puts the pieces of the puzzle together and digs deeper if the game plan does not work. I’m sure I’m the one who gets the job done.”
Dariush and Makhachev will fight in the main event of the UFC Fight Night tournament, which will be held on the night of February 27 in the United States.
Dariush has 21 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw. Makhachev has 21 wins and 1 loss.
