“It kind of bothers me because I think I might get passed over again. After I beat Charles Oliveira, what I think could happen is that, since we've been waiting so long, they'll put Islam or Volkanovski, whoever wins the duel, with someone else. They're going to announce this at the same time as our fight, that's what I'm feeling. I understand that the UFC is not a big fan of mine, I don't talk a lot of rubbish, I don't bring the numbers, at least that's what they said. With that said, I'm just waiting to see what happens, but I would like to have the fight (against Charles) sooner. I would love to fight in March or April,” said Dariush.

Beneil is experiencing the best moment of his career and has been riding eight consecutive victories. His next duel will probably be against the former champion Charles of the Bronx No. UFC 288, scheduled for May 06th. The duel is well underway, according to the North American himself.
