Former champion of the extinct RFA, Moisés has already accumulated 13 fights as a professional, with 11 wins and two losses. A member of the American Top Team, the Brazilian secured his chance in Ultimate by knocking out Gleidson Poney in the third episode of the series.
Dariush, in turn, is a veteran of the house with 13 fights, eight wins, four setbacks and one draw. Their form, however, is bad, having lost two and drawn one of the last three. Trained by Brazilian Rafael Cordeiro, Beneil, who is of Iranian origin, has not played since last February, when he was surprisingly knocked out in 42 seconds by the then debutante Alexander Hernandez.
In addition to Thiago, another Tupiniquim athlete on the card is the lightweight Davi ramos, who is looking for his third consecutive victory against John Gunther. The main fight of the night will be a featherweight duel between the veterans Frankie Edgar and the South Korean Chan sung jung.
