Beneil Dariush thinks the result of his UFC 311 fight against Renato Moicano will have a heavy influence on his future in mixed martial arts.
Winless since October 2022 and on a two-fight losing skid, Dariush (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6-1 UFC) returns to competition in a lightweight bout against Moicano (20-5-1 MMA, 12-5 UFC) on Jan. 18 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+)
The 35-year-old has been part of the UFC roster for nearly 11 years. He’s been knocked out in the first round of back-to-back fights against Arman Tsarukyan and Charles Oliveira, and now Dariush has come to what he considers a crossroads matchup with Moicano.
