Beneil Dariush is sharing the ‘reason’ fans don’t see him ‘get pushed’ by the UFC.<\/p>\n

Dariush (22-4 MMA) is hot off a victory over Mateusz Gamros (21-2 MMA) at UFC 280 which took place on Saturday, October 22nd. In fact, the Californian, has 8 consecutive wins in the Octagon and is ranked fourth in the 155 pound division.<\/p>\n

Dariush, spoke with ‘KRGV Sports’ and shared why he believes the UFC aren’t ‘pushing’ him (h\/t MMANews<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the fact that I speak so much of my faith or the fact that I\u2019m just not very confrontational when it comes to the meetings. There seems to be this approach in MMA right now on how to make fights bigger, you talk a little bit of smack, you have an altercation in the back room or something, stuff like that builds fights. You\u2019re not really going to see me involved in stuff like that. So I think that\u2019s the reason why you don\u2019t see me get pushed so much.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing the 33-year-old said:<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, I\u2019m not a big fan of social media, I try to stay away from it as much as I can. I\u2019ll respond to people here and there. But overall, I prefer to spend my time with my family. And so all that plays into it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Concluding, Beneil Dariush admitted that he may not be the UFC’s ‘ideal’ candidate:<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand the UFC is profit driven and maybe I\u2019m not their ideal candidate, but I have to be honest to the person that I am, and I have to be faithful to my Creator and go forth like that. So it\u2019s just, I get the situation. I\u2019m not mad at anybody. I get what they need to do and I know what I need to do and that\u2019s how I go forward.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It seems that Dariush indeed is not in the promotions forefront. As it will be lightweight champion Islam Makhachev<\/a> (23-1 MMA) who is slated for his first title defence against Alexander Volkanovski (25-1 MMA), yet to be officially confirmed.<\/p>\n

Beneil Dariush will have to bide his time and hopefully get that title shot in the near future.<\/p>\n

Do you agree with Dariush’s commentary about why he’s not the UFC’s ‘ideal’ candidate? Do you believe he’s earned a shot at the title?<\/p>\n
