Media Dariush comes off as being way too normal to be an elite level MMA fighter

[Phisher]

Legit nice guy going up against a manic with documented mental health issues.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

He does, but then so did Stipe.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Yeah he’s cool AF

I wish he wasn’t fighting Tony, I quite enjoy both of them

He's a cool dude. really down to earth, seem like a family man. Which is why I hope he fights smarter, but he likes that brawl style.

 

[dildos]

He just a based and grounded guy.

 

[Askren’s chin]

Dude probably has a secret massive ego because every person involved with competing in combat sports has a massive ego.

 

[Herwald]

Yeah, I agree. He seems like a normie fan that stumbled into competing, but happens to be great at it. As a result, the coolest dude on that entire panel.

Too much generalsation. Fedor is humble, Wonderboy...

Dariush has always been as cool as a cucumber:

Not DJ.Taiki. Guy has no ego, just fights because he wants to.

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

Didn't know you shouod have mental problems to be an mma fighter ( although if you watch most guys interviews you might think its a must)

I think he's going to sleep Tony or crack him good then just beat on him or cruise. Tony's downfall is going the way I thought it might so far. Bad defense but amazing chin - once the chin starts to go for a guy like that, its not long before he's wearing a helmet in the lunch line and losing to guys he would have killed a few years prior. I think he's taken too much damage at this point. Even in his amazing performances he ate some seriously hard shots to the dome. Gaethje was the tipping point, and that beatdown by Oliviera added to it.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

It would be glorious if he knocked Tony out stiff.

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Imagine only now realizing that Dariush is a chill nice dude. I say you are a dickhead for that.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

The more I see of Benny the more I like him - great fighter that is an even better dude.

Let’s see if he can handle El Cucuy - if Tony hurts him and Benny sees red and starts throwing bombs I will lose my shit.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Nice guy Beniel 30-27 incoming...

 

[SokoudjouFanboy]

It's because he's not.

Just kidding I love Benny

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

nothing makes sense when its tony tbh.

Dariush is gonna fuck up headcase Ferguson.

 

[Char Jawz]

He comes off as the guy who is probably going to win this fight. I'm not sure Tony will even have any fight IQ based on his press conference performance and that's one of Dariush's strong suits.
