LOS ANGELES – Beneil Dariush knows he’s overlooked.
Maybe it’s the mature appearance, or the fact that he’s been in the promotion’s lightweight rankings for so long. Dariush (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6 UFC) isn’t positive, but he has a hunch as he heads into his UFC 311 main card showdown Saturday vs. Renato Moicano (20-5-1 MMA, 12-5 UFC).
“Gray hairs,” Moicano said through a laugh as he spoke to MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “I look older than the average person – just in general, my age. I feel great right now. I’m just looking forward to the fight. As far as retirement goes, one day you just know you don’t have it. If that’s the case, we’re done.
