Media Beneil Dariush: "UFC Paid Me Show/Win Money - "PROMISED Me Good Fight"

[andgonsil]

Benny deserves all the best

 

[bjjwar]

Half million to chill and drink beers, what a life!

 

[UppercutFromHades]

He needs a fight soon. He's had a full camp, it should be a 2 week delay/4 weeks max - and then a fight. Time is not on his side. Beniel will want to be back in the cage.

 

[Boomb]

How is this idiot (Schmo) still a thing?

 

[A Very Serious Cat]

It's good but also the least the ufc should be doing for him

 

[Tatra]

Dude looks 50.

 

[Dobymick]

It's like when you get an unexpected day off at work. Kinda, well not really but yeah

 

[IvanDrago2.0]

Half million to chill and drink beers, what a life!

He’s probably getting around 150k-200k ( 75k show 75k win). A lot better than nothing though that’s for sure

 

[Doughie99]

Give him the fuckin porier fight

I think Poirier's final career fight will be vs Dan Hooker. Poirier ain't gonna say yes to fighting an elite wrestler/grappler in his last fight.

 

[MidgardSerpent]

Remember this the next time you cry about fighter pay

Small picture vs big picture thinking.

 

[Ginja_Ninja]

I say give Dariush the co-main spot on UFC London vs Paddy Pimblett. Less dangerous opponent than the last two that faced him, prominent card placement and will boost his stock big if he can pull it off.

That's actually a great fuckin fight. Good opponent for both.

California used to have a rule that If a fighter makes Weight he's entlited tô his show money.. I wasnt expecting him to get the winning bônus though.

Does anyone knows If California still hás that law about the fighter's purse having tô bê public avaliable?
It was good to get a Sense of How the money are being spread over different level of fighters

 

[Rataria]

Why is he telling the public about it ? ? ?

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Remember this the next time you cry about fighter pay

It’s good to see Beneil getting his cash but let’s be real here, UFC often does short little PR campaigns like these. Long way to go regarding that 18%

 

[mollox21]

Wonderboy not happy about that

 

[RockyLockridge]

Give him the fuckin porier fight

I think he wins that fight

 

[chinarice]

Damn, bro got half a million for doing nothing. So much for sh** fighter pay...

"Doing nothing "...... literally spent months training for the fight. He put in work to get that money and will need to pay the people that trained him during said time.....

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Surprised UFC paid him the full purse.
He Calls Out Dustin Poirier, Max Holloway, Michael Chandler.

This shows what a great manager Ali is, got the champion an easier fight and got his other client show and win money without fighting, guy pulled off a bunch of great deals.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Good.

What about Dariush vs Pimblett? Could headline a UFN.

 

[Tweak896]

I mean you can't expect UFC to always throw together last minute fights. Dariush has been on a steep decline and potentially retiring soon, he just takes a little longer to return now. If he's the only casualty from this pullout, it's not the worst thing to get win money for nothing and a good matchup next.
