Beneil Dariush faces Michael Johnson at UFC Fight Night 73, and that could be his last fight at 155 pounds.
Riding a four-fight winning streak in the UFC, including victories over longtime veteran Jim Miller and a submission over Daron Cruickshank, Dariush could be heading to the welterweight division to avoid a fight with training partner and UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos.
"When he gets to the top 5 of the lightweight division, he will go to 170 pounds," King MMA leader Rafael Cordeiro told MMAFighting.
