On the main card of UFC 313, Mauricio Ruffy drew attention with a knockout about Bobby Green and then challenged Beneil Dariush for a follow-up fight. A little over a month after the challenge, Dariush revealed that he is lined up to face another Brazilian.
In an interview with 'Submission Radio', Beneil Dariush stated that the UFC never informed him about a possible fight against Ruffy. According to him, he was told that he would fight in June and, apparently, the opponent will be Renato Moicano.

“I’ll be honest with you, the UFC has never mentioned Mauricio Ruffy’s name to me. They told me I’m going to fight in June and it looks like it’s going to be with Moicano… Fighting Ruffy wouldn’t make much sense to me,” Dariush said.
Before being challenged by Mauricio Ruffy, Beneil Dariush was scheduled to face Renato Moicano No. UFC 311. However, the duel did not take place because Arman Tsarukyan suffered a neck injury, and Moicano had to replace him in the fight against Islam makhachev.
