Chandler is coming off a historic win over Tony Ferguson in May at UFC 274. He became the first athlete to knock Ferguson out cold with a vicious front kick to the face. He is set to face Dustin Poirier in his next bout at UFC 281 on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
‘Iron’ Mike has delivered entertaining shows since joining the promotion last year but failed in his quest to become the lightweight champion when Charles Oliveira beat him in Dec. 2021.
In a recent interview with Helen Yee, Beneil Dariush suggested that Michael Chandler would be undefeated if he didn’t aim to put on a show for the fans.
“I think if it’s three rounds, 60-40 I lean towards Dustin,” Dariush said (BJ Penn.com). “Only because Michael Chandler’s focused so much on being exciting, I think he actually gives up a lot of his skill sets. I think he could actually do way better than he’s done. I think he’s, what, 2-2 in the UFC? I think he could be undefeated right now if he had a better mindset, but he’s so focused on being entertaining and exciting, he’s lost two fights.”
Chandler has been rallying for a second chance at the 155-pound gold and believes a win over Dustin Poirier in his next bout would earn him the title shot. Dariush does not agree with Chandler and made his case instead.
“Honestly, I think he’s just trying to hype himself up. I don’t think that’s true. But if that does happen, man, that’s basically a clown show. What? The guy just had a title shot and lost and then lost again. So it doesn’t make sense. After I beat Gamrot, I don’t think there’s anyone who could step in front of me,” Dariush said.

Beneil Dariush has revealed that he is expected to be the backup for the lightweight title fight between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev at UFC 280.
Dariush also has a fight on the UFC 280 card, as he will be taking on Mateusz Gamrot in a three round bout in Abu Dhabi. The card is stacked up to be one the best events of the year, and of all time. Dariush has claimed that he will be filling in for Oliveira or Makhachev, if one of them were to miss weight the day before, or if someone unfortunately gets injured.
In his last championship bout against Justin Gaethje, Oliveira missed weight by a half pound and was forced to vacate his title. Oliveira claimed that he had made weight the night before and the day of. He claimed that he made weight backstage on a digital scale, and even had other people claiming that either the digital scale in the back was off, or the scale fighters weigh in on was off. Oliveira ended up winning the bout, but unfortunately was not the lightweight champion anymore.
“That’s what Ali told me, I was the backup for this,” Dariush claimed in an interview. “If something goes wrong, they would put me in.” (Transcribed by MMAFighting).
If something were too happen, Dariush would have to shed an extra pound to make championship weight. He claims that will not be a problem, as he is gearing up for a three round fight.
“Yeah, of course. It’s not that hard. I make 156. Last time in Texas [UFC 262], I was pretty much 155 when I fought.”
Dariush has been on a seven fight winning streak, and could be next for a title fight. He has not fought since May of 2021, as he was scheduled to fight Makachev, but he had to pull out due to an ankle injury he sustained.
