The Road to the Title Shot
Beneil Dariush has been on an impressive winning streak, with six consecutive wins since 2019. His most recent victory was a split decision win over Carlos Diego Ferreira at UFC Fight Night 184 on February 6, 2021. Currently ranked as the No. 3 lightweight contender, Dariush has proven himself to be a formidable opponent in the UFC lightweight division.
Similarly, Charles Oliveira has been on a tear, winning his last eight fights, including a stunning victory over Tony Ferguson at UFC 256 in December 2020. Oliveira’s current status as the No. 4 lightweight contender puts him just one spot behind Dariush, making this an incredibly close and high-stakes matchup.
What’s at Stake for Dariush and Oliveira
With the UFC guaranteeing a title shot to the winner of this bout, both Dariush and Oliveira have a lot on the line. A win for either fighter not only puts them in the running for the lightweight title but also cements their place as one of the top contenders in the division.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever had that before, but it feels good,” Dariush said during a recent virtual media day. “I like guarantees. Guarantees are nice. It’s nice to know that if I go out there and do my job, I’ll be able to get the title shot.”
As the fighters prepare for their bout on Saturday, fans can look forward to an intense and exciting match with a title shot on the line. With both Dariush and Oliveira in top form, this is a fight that promises to deliver.
