And, according to journalist Brett Okamoto from 'ESPN', Dariush is still evaluating his options regarding the treatment he will receive for a broken fibula. He is trying to avoid surgery, although he still does not have a plan for returning to training and, consequently, to the Octagon.
"Beneil Dariush visited four doctors for his broken fibula. Three suggested physical therapy, one advised surgery. As of now, he is trying to avoid surgery. There is still no set time frame for his return, but no surgery is good news,” Okamoto wrote in his 'Twitter' official.
Dariush is on a good run – of seven victories in a row – and is third in the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg), in addition to having won Tony Ferguson in his last performance, which took place in May 2021. His last loss was to Alexander Hernandez, still in March 2018. The combatant has a record of 21 positive results and four negative results.
Painful recovery…
The fibula is the smaller of two bones in the lower leg and is located between the ankle and knee. Part of the support system, the broken bone makes movement difficult and becomes a major obstacle for high-level athletes. In addition to the attention of a midfielder, it is necessary to immobilize the leg for a few weeks. And therefore, there is no forecast for the return of Beneil Dariush.
