Beneil Dariush will forfeit 20% of his purse at UFC 322, after the lightweight contender missed weight by 1.2 pounds on Friday.
Scheduled to square off against Benoit Saint-Denis as part of Saturday’s stacked lineup in NYC, Dariush stepped on the scale and weighed in at 157.2 pounds for his non-title clash against the ‘God of War.’
The fight will go on as planned, with Dariush handing over a chunk of his earnings to Saint-Denis. It’s just the second time Dariush has missed weight under the UFC banner, the first coming in 2020.
Dariush was the only one of 24 fighters to miss the mark during Friday’s weigh-ins.
