“After I won scott holtzmann, the UFC offered me a fight against Charles Oliveira on October XNUMXth. I accepted and so did Charles. I've been informed that Charles is out. I'm not sure of the details, but I hope all is well with him. I'm currently working with the UFC to figure out the next step. I will keep everyone posted on the details. Finally, although the fight didn't come to fruition, I want to thank the UFC, Sean Shelby and my brother, Ali Abdelaziz, for helping me,” posted Dariush.
