Beneil Dariush Expresses Interest in Dream Matchup with Khabib Nurmagomedov Before Facing Charles Oliveira at UFC 289

Despite Khabib’s retirement almost three years ago, Dariush still harbors the desire to face him inside the octagon. In a recent chat with TheAllStar, he expressed his ideal scenario: “Ideally, it would be Khabib Nurmagomedov, right? He’s the best lightweight in the world. Ideally, after beating Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev, I would have an opportunity to fight him, but obviously, I don’t think that’s gonna happen.”

While the reality of a matchup between Dariush and Khabib seems unlikely, fans can still look forward to the highly anticipated fight between Dariush and Oliveira at UFC 289. The event will take place on June 10 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, and promises to be a thrilling night of mixed martial arts action.

Dariush comes into the fight with an impressive eight-fight winning streak, while Oliveira boasts a record of 33-9-0. With both fighters in top form, fans can expect a high-level, intense fight that could potentially earn the winner a shot at the lightweight title.

Although Khabib has retired from the octagon, fans are aware of this fact, and Dariush understands that the likelihood of facing him is next to impossible. But, Dariush believes that after defeating Oliveira, he could showcase his skills against Khabib’s protege, Islam Makhachev, who currently holds the lightweight championship title. Nevertheless, Dariush’s focus is on his highly anticipated fight against Oliveira at UFC 289, which is expected to be a thrilling event for UFC enthusiasts.
