UFC lightweight Beneil Dariush is ready for one more title run ahead of his battle with Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 322. For the longest time, Beneil Dariush has been an interesting contender in the UFC’s lightweight division. Unfortunately, he’s never quite been able to earn a title shot, but he’s certainly some close. As we look ahead to the immediate future, the 36-year-old likely has one more big run left in him at 155 pounds – and his latest hopeful path to gold started with a win over Renato Moicano this past June.
