Beneil Dariush threw everything but the kitchen sink at Evan Dunham in the first round of their UFC 216 lightweight bout on Saturday night. Dunham roared back to take the last two rounds at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
The end result? A majority draw after a highly entertaining scrap. One judge saw the bout 29-28 and the other two saw it 28-28 for a majority draw.
“He’s tough, for sure I was surprised,” Dariush said. “I felt like I was OK after the first, it’s just he came back and came strong.
