Beneil Dariush returns to winning ways at UFC 317

Beneil Dariush — the Iranian-American lightweight fighter — secured an important victory over Renato Moicano at UFC 317, T-Mobile Arena Las Vegas.

Dariush won by unanimous decision with all three judges — scoring the fight 29-28 in favor of the number 8 ranked lightweight.

In this bout, Dariush showed aggression from the opening round — launching combinations of head and leg kicks against the 11th-ranked Moicano. The Brazilian fighter tried to defend by initiating clinches to avoid his opponent’s relentless attacks.

This victory marks a comeback moment for Dariush — who previously suffered consecutive losses to Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan in title elimination bouts.
