Beneil Dariush returns to The Fighter vs. This week, the Writer discusses his frustration with Charles Oliveira. The former UFC lightweight champion then decides on his next steps while hinting at his desire to face Conor McGregor.
With a seven-fight win streak and a past fight with Oliveira that already fell apart, Dariush details his problem with “Do Bronx” suddenly targeting somebody like McGregor rather than accepting a fight against him or Islam Makhachev to crown a lightweight champion now that the title has been vacated.
Dariush will share his thoughts about Oliveira’s victory over Justin Gaethje, and provide an update regarding his return to action.
Also on the show this week, ex-UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos stops by to preview his upcoming fight against Yorgan De Castro, which serves as the main event for Eagle FC 47 on Friday.
Dos Santos will explain how he ended up with Eagle FC, his expectations for the future now that he’s returning to action and he’ll also address his exit from the UFC and how he’s found a new kind of happiness with his freedom to fight whenever and wherever he wants.
Dos Santos also discusses his interest in boxing and what he thinks about possibly sharing a card with Anderson Silva in a pair of matchups against Jake and Logan Paul.
All this and much more in the latest episode The Fighter. The Writer!
