Chiesa vs. Dariush -- UFC on Fox 19

[1 other person]

This match has my hyped.

I am somewhat of a Chiesa fan (especially since he threw Colton Smith on his head and called it "Judo 101"). I have never seen Dariush fight MMA, but I have watched him quite often on youtube, to pick up some of his BJJ techniques.

I have no idea what to expect in this fight. I have read that Benny's pressure is insane, but then Chiesa is no joke either. And I don't know a thing about Benny's striking relative to Chiesa.

So who do you think takes this, and why??

Dariush should dominate it on the ground if he can take it there. If not Chiesa might outpoint him on the feet. Unless Dariush shows up with that jab and steals another decision.

I'm picking Dariush by UD.

I was expecting to see a more dominating Chiesa against Miller but the striking was very competitive at one point

Dariush is a tough matchup for Chiesa, even tho I'm going with him

 

[BigDaddyBach]

I just can't get over the fact Dariush has a W on his record over MJ. That was more atrocious than any Diego robbery.

Dariush by UD

I will always root against Chiesa after he tapped with 1 second left in his hometown and stormed out of the cage crying.

Not even close.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Dariush has a little more weapons overall imo, but I like Chiesa.

Torn on this one.

 

[MattyPeq]

Chiesa will dominate him. Dariush doesn't have a chance.

Not even close.

You're right. That decision was way worse than the Diego ones.
Johnson got robbed so bad.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I got chiesa in this fight always looks better and better

 

[Yabuki]

I like Dariush and he can surprise all the time. But Chiesa is no joke. i hope Beneil touches him with teh jab and wins.

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

Pulling for Dariush.

Dank fight

Rooting for Chiesa, haven't seen a whole lot from Dariush (only fight of his I know I watched was vs. Miller).

I like Chiesa a lot, but never thought he'd be a top ten guy. Would be cool if he did.
