UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling spoke out on social media about Beneil Dariush's loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 289.
Aljamain Sterling
Gutted for Dariush. Should’ve had a title shot already. But congrats on a HUGE statement from Oliveira! He is a bonafide finisher!
Recall, at UFC 289, Dariush lost by first-round TKO to Oliveira. Previously, Beneil stated that the management of the promotion had guaranteed him a title fight against Islam Makhachev if he defeated the Brazilian.
Dariush, 34, had previously been in the Octagon against Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 280. That fight lasted the whole distance and ended in Beneil's favor by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 22 wins, five losses and one draw.
