Impact This was a tough spot for Dariush from the very start. Now 36 years old, he had to travel halfway around the world to get to the arena and then face a legitimate top prospect fighting in his own backyard. It led to Beneil being a +325 underdog which turned out to be nowhere near a high enough number. Dariush did crack Salkilld badly early in the fight and have the youngster on the ropes, but he eventually recovered and turned the tide, finishing Dariush with a pair of dominant right hands. The UFC has done Beneil no favors with the level of competition they have matched him up against, but you are what your record says you are in this sport and Dariush's record says he's 1-4 in his past five fights dating back to June 2023. All four of the defeats have come via knockout.
