A potential lightweight title eliminator is on tap for UFC 280, as Beneil Dariush is slated to square off against Mateusz Gamrot.
ESPN was first to report the booking. UFC 280 takes place at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Oct. 22 and is headlined by a lightweight championship bout between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.
“Winner fights for the belt,” Dariush told ESPN. “I’m definitely happy with the matchup. I just want to fight the best.”
Dariush will bring a seven-fight winning streak into the matchup with Gamrot.
