Can Dariush snap his skid and return to the upper echelon of the division? When will he return inside the Octagon, and who will he face next?

When Is Beneil Dariush’s Next Fight?

Dariush’s next opponent is yet to be determined, but he was supposed to fight Renato Moicano at UFC 311 on Jan. 18, but it was scraped since Moicano stepped in to face Islam Makhachev in the main event of the card after Arman Tsarukyan begged off the match.

Despite not competing in the event, UFC president Dana White assured that Dariush was taken care of, meaning he was compensated and could have received his fight purse.
