Media The coldest KO ever by Beneil Dariush!

[rjmbrd]

Beneil is a lot easier to hit than Islam. If you look at both of them when they fought Dober Islam pretty much ran circles around him whereas Beneil was getting constantly tagged.

Turns out Islam is a really high quality striker.

The fact that he was braining Volk over and over with super clean counters was pretty wild. Volk has incredible footwork and is equal parts fast/slick. Islam caught him repeatedly.

Dariush definitely has more raw punching power but he's had a tendency to welcome 50/50 exchanges when he's seeing red. I think he's getting around that corner now though.

man might have the toughest strength of schedule in UFC history

he faced some great fighters no doubt but also lost to a lot of guys who should have been tailor made for him. MJ, varner, and cerrone shouldn’t have beat him tbh

very fun fight but elite fighters don’t go life and death with drakkar klose

From where I sit it seems like pretty much every elite fighter goes life and death with a non elite guy at some point.

usually long after their prime, if we mean in the totality of their career.
