Bloody Elbow recaps the big fights from UFC Nashville. Here, we look at the co-main event between Beneil Dariush and Michael Johnson
On Saturday night, Michael Johnson and Beneil Dariush stood toe-to-toe with each other for 15 minutes in a rather forgettable fight. Through three rounds, neither fighter had major success but a recurrent theme was the varied punching and Octagon control of Johnson. It came as somewhat of a surprise when Bruce Buffer read out the judge's decision and declared the outmatched Dariush victorious via split decision.
Official result: Beneil Dariush def.
