Poor Beneil Dariush bro

[gentel]

Any updates on him? Haven't felt bad for a fighter like this in a while

He's one of the most screwed over fighters along with Tony Ferguson. Won a million fights, embarrassed tf out of Gamrot, and then still had to fight an eliminator against Oliveira because he's not a draw, never got the title shot he earned, now this happens

 

[kingmob6]

He is getting paid for not fighting. I think he is doing well, I woudn't complain.

 

[MartiniSIDe]

Lmao what do you mean poor Dariush?

He’s getting paid, he doesn’t have to get beat down in front of his home town, and now he gets to stay on the roster another few months before applying at Home Depot.

Yeah but the dude is a fighter.

I bet he would prefer to fight.

Fuckin sucks because I was pumped for that one

 

[Pilo]

Glad someone finally makes a thread about this. Damn...at least he's still getting his show money despite not fighting, if I understand.

 

[Tweak896]

The sad part is if he didn't take the last fights he took, he probably would've been chosen over Moicano for the title shot and would've of been in his hometown. Rank squatting works sadly.

Benny is a good guy. At least he is still getting the full amount paid (I hope)

 

[Lycandroid]

Has there ever been an explanation as to why certain fighters get their show money in these situations and some don't ?

Beat down?

He was scheduled to fight Moicano, it was basically a guaranteed win for him.

Beni is a handsome fella.

I used to have nice brown hair and now I'm about 60% as gray as Beni at 38.

I blame my twin daughters. Legit didn't start turning gray until 8 years ago.

(Now 39) I didn't have a single grey hair until a divorce at age 30! During that ordeal they sprung up over the course of several months, and then took several years off once I was free of that mess and got with someone great. Stress be weird like that.

Dana says he's gonna take care of him.

The same Dana that said women would never fight in the UFC.
The same Dana that said Jon Jones would never headline a PPV again
The same Dana that said the Reebok uniform money would go directly to the fighters.
The same Dana that said Power Slap has more internet followers than all other major sports combined.
The same Dana that said McGregor/Mayweather would never happen.
The same Dana that said the UFC wasn't for sale.

If I were in Beneil's shoes right now, I'd be sweating bullets.

I dunno why you buggin about this. They gonna hook him up.

Besides. Dana said there wasnt gonna be women in the UFC because he didnt forsee Ronda Rousey being a thing. He changed his fuckin mind.

Nothin like that gonna stop him from hookin Beniel up. Its not that serious bro.

Beneil getting proverbially gaped. Hope he fights soon. You prime yourself for a fight and he's lost a year as is.

yeah man

guy has two KO losses and ya try and redeem, and theres just nothing in its place, while your opponent walks into the promised land, the rarified air. He crosses the Rubicon.

It's gotta be something in our food supply, that mixed in with the stress of modern-day career/life balance.

I met someone in their late twenties a few months ago and they had a lot of grays in their beard as well - he was single with no kids.

 

[Coconutwater]

By "take care" I hope this means show plus win money and an opponent on an upcoming card.

They should also include fight of night bonus because they're screwing the fighter out of the chance of potentially winning that. Fighter gotta get the benefit of the doubt in these cases, IMHO.

Dana will pay Dariush, but yeah, he's still a scumbag and he was never, ever my friend.

I'm sure it's all part of god's plan...or whatever.
