Beneil Dariush has revealed what he sees as his path to victory in a potential fight with fellow lightweight contender Charles Oliveira.<\/p>\n

Dariush, the UFC’s No. 9-ranked lightweight contender, is riding a big victory over Diego Ferreira, and is looking for another big step up in competition. He views Oliveira, the division’s No. 3 contender, as just that.<\/p>\n

If Dariush does get his desired fight with Oliveira, he believes he has the skills to survive the Brazilian’s fight-ending power and lethal submissions\u2014and ultimately defeat him.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, the guy comes out and throws a bunch of flying knees, a bunch of kicks, a bunch of weird stuff, and you know what I\u2019m going to do? I\u2019m going to walk through all of it.\u201d Dariush told\u00a0ESPN.<\/a> \u201cI don\u2019t know how, but I\u2019m going to walk through all of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to grab him, he\u2019s going to think he\u2019s going to take me down. He\u2019s not, I\u2019m going to take him down. He\u2019s going to try submissions, they\u2019re not going to work and it\u2019s just going to be a dog fight until one dog gives up and I\u2019m pretty sure that\u2019s not going to be me.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Dariush is hoping to fight Oliveira next, Oliveira has made it pretty clear<\/a> he’s only interested in fighting for the title.<\/p>\n

Dariush seems to find that frustrating.<\/p>\n

\u201cBro, I thought we were fighters. Why is everybody so civilized all of a sudden and why is everybody like, low risk high reward,” Dariush said. “I feel like I\u2019m working with businessmen,\u201d he explained. \u201cWhen I was ranked number seven\u2026 they offered me (Michael) Chiesa who wasn\u2019t ranked, and I said sure. I lost the fight, which sucks, but I lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen right after that fight, I fought James Vick,” Dariush added. “I took it on short notice just because I didn\u2019t feel good about myself, I jumped back in. At the time he had never been knocked out, he was 5-0 in the UFC. I was still ranked, I was ranked top ten, I took the fight with him not ranked, still went out there\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like, they call you to fight,” Dariush concluded. “Isn\u2019t that what you signed up for, to fight? Just say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who do you want to see Beneil Dariush fight next?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
