Dominant in lightweight (up to 70,3kg.), Charles of the Bronx He is on a streak of 11 wins in a row and will try to regain the belt in his next appearance. However, for the former fighter and current commentator Paul felder, Beneil Dariush can 'stop' the Brazilian's momentum and represents the biggest threat today due to his variety of strikes and fighting style.

“I dare say that someone like Beneil Dariush is more of a threat to the particular style (of Charles of the Bronx) by style. I said the same thing when Khabib (Nurmagomedov) was still the champion. I've always said that I thought Charles would be one of the biggest threats to him because of his style and the way he fights. He accepts the lower position (on the floor). but it is very dangerous,” Felder explained in 'The Fighter vs. The Writer'.
From the Bronx, he even lost his status as lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg.) after failing to make weight due to problems with the scale in the UFC 274. Even so, the Brazilian was not shaken by the situation and, in an exciting fight, overcame Justin gaethje by rear naked choke in the first round. In addition, he increased the number of fighters with the most submissions and victories on fast tracks in the history of Ultimate.
Beneil is now looking for his first opportunity for the belt and is going through the best moment in the division. Sixth in the rankings, Dariush is on a streak of seven consecutive victories and has 21 positive results, four negative results and one draw in his career. He is now recovering from a fibula injury and is still working to return to the organization.
