Oliveira may lose the fight with Dariush at the May UFC tournament
The American athlete is not satisfied with the timing.
According to insiders, the UFC plans to host a duel between Brazilian Charles Oliveira and American Benil Dariush at one of its tournaments in May.
However, the latter has already expressed his dissatisfaction with the timing of the fight, since initially the plans were March, then April, and now the timing has shifted to the last month of spring.
According to Dariush, he dreamed of entering the title fight this year with the winner of the Islam Makhachev-Alex Volkanovski pair.
“But when the champion of the lightweight division is assigned another defense, they can tell me that I just fought. And I will fly past the fight for the belt, ”the athlete explained.
Dariush said that he planned to fight in March so that by the summer or early autumn he would be in the league's plans for the next fight - preferably for the title. Therefore, now he doubts whether to agree to a fight with Oliveira in May.
