Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight contenders Beneil Dariush and Rashid Magomedov threw down last night (Nov. 5, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 98 inside Arena Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico. Ranked inside the Top 10, Dariush came into this bout off perhaps the strongest performance of his career, a brutal first round knockout. If he could take out the nearly unbeaten Russian, Dariush was due for another high-profile opportunity. On the other hand, this was Magomedov’s big opportunity. He wasn’t able to fight all that consistently due to some injuries, but the kickboxer has been absolutely fantastic while inside the Octagon, and this was his chance to really announce himself as a factor at 155 pounds.
