Beneil Dariush's Winning Streak Comes To An End
2 years agoBeneil Dariush saw his eight-fight winning streak come to an abrupt end on Saturday when he suffered a first-round TKO loss to former champion Charles Oliveira in their lightweight bout at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Before the fight, Dariush insisted that he was promised an opportunity to challenge for the lightweight championship with a win over Oliveira. In 4:10 of action, Dariush landed 12 significant strikes compared to Oliveira, who landed 26. Dariush's loss to Oliveira was his first setback since suffering a knockout loss to Alexander Hernandez back in March of 2018. He has long been considered worthy of a championship opportunity, but this loss is devastating for Dariush's title chances.
