Beneil Dariush recently hinted that the Ultimate Fighting Championship has a slight bias towards fighters they feel the need to protect.
Dariush (23-6) will face Benoit St. Denis (15-3) at UFC 322 on Nov. 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Dariush was recently asked about a matchup against Paddy Pimblett. While Dariush admits that it would be a great pairing, he hinted that the UFC wants to protect the English star from him. Dariush believes the promotion doesn’t want to offer “The Baddy” top-ranked opponents unless they have to.
