Beneil Dariush on UFC future: ‘I’d like to fight somebody ahead of me instead of all the guys behind me’

Few athletes in the UFC have amassed a more impressive win streak than Beneil Dariush over his past six fights.

Beyond the 6-0 record, the 31-year-old veteran has finished four of those opponents by knockout or submission while winning three Performance of the Night awards as well as a Fight of the Night bonus for his recent victory against Diego Ferreira.

While he now occupies a spot inside the top 10 rankings at 155 pounds, Dariush has still been struggling to get any of the fighters ahead of him to accept an open challenge to face him as he attempts to climb closer to title contention.
