At UFC 284, the top-ranked lightweight contender Beneil Dariush watched the clash of champions between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski.
The featherweight king Australia’s Volkanovski went up in weight to challenge for the lightweight throne against the Dagestani athlete Makhachev. With a size disadvantage, Volkanovski was able to continuously scramble so that Makhachev was struggling to impose his grappling game.
Grappling specialist Beneil Dariush was looking for just that.
In an interview with MMA Junkie, Beneil Dariush explained:
“I thought they were both great. Unstoppable force meets an immovable object, it felt like that…a lot of things with Islam, Volkanovski just confirmed my beliefs. I didn’t really have any tapes on him…but Volkanovski confirmed to me where his game is lacking and things I can take advantage of.” [Transcript courtesy of MMA News]
Beneil Dariush sees himself as the top contender in the competitive lightweight division and believes he is next in line to challenge for the crown held by Islam Makhachev. The 33-year-old athlete is currently on an eight-fight win streak with notable wins over fighters such as Mateusz Gamrot, Tony Ferguson, Carlos Diego Ferreira, and Scott Holtzman, among others.
Additionally, he is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Rafael Cordeiro and has competed in World Jiu Jitsu Championships. Plus, in the UFC, Dariush is putting together a reputation for being one of the more exciting fighters in this stacked division. He has earned four performance of the night bonuses plus one fight of the night honor.

YouTuber and UFC fan MikeyT sneaked into UFC 284 and walked out with main event fighters.
Last weekend the UFC made their return to Australia with the country’s greatest-ever fighter, Alexander Volkanovski as the main event. Of course, the event would sell out quickly with many fans missing out on tickets. However, one eager fan tried his luck and attempted (successfully) to sneak in without a ticket.
YouTuber MikeyT created fake photography credentials paired with UFC polo shorts and simply walked passed several security checkpoints, all the way to the cage side. The Australian’s luck didn’t stop there, capturing quite phenomenal footage, managed to walk out with fighters on their way to the cage.
Beginning with heavyweight Justin Tafa, MikeyT then managed to walk tag along with hometown hero, Volkanvovski, as he made his way to the cage to an electric arena. Then, as Makhachev was patted down, the content creator appeared just meters away from the Russian and would enjoy some of the best seats in the house for the fight.
At the end of the video, MikeyT reacted to the night, expressing his shock at what had just happened.
“Okay guys so I am still in disbelief at what we have just gone and done,” he said. “I got changed real quick so it didn’t look like I was walking around in the media outfit. I am incredibly lost for words at how that all just played out, I originally thought I would just sneak into the event.
“But the fact how we managed to do all those things, get literally ringside, go backstage and even walk out with the two main event people. That was just incredible.” (H/T Mirror)

UFC lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev reacts to the UFC’s latest rankings update.
Prior to Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski’s UFC 284 bout, the fight was billed as the promotion No.1 and No.2 pound-for-pound fighters squaring off – with the winner securing the top spot.
Makhachev headed into the fight as a heavy favorite, with many feeling that the 31-year-old size and strength, paired with his elite grappling, would prove too much for the 5’6 Volkanovski who was moving up a weight class. However, while not doing enough in the judge’s eyes, Volkanovski put on a phenomenal performance and at times had the champion in real trouble throughout the fight.
While the No.1 spot was set for the winner, in the latest rankings update Volkanovski remained as the UFC P4P king.
In response to the latest update, Makhachev took to social media to protest the decision – even suggesting that the UFC had a bias against Russian fighters.
“About the rankings, I never expected justice and still don’t”, said Makhachev. “Because we saw the example with other fighters, [Magomed] Ankalaev, Petr Yan. [We] saw the attitude towards us, always. The main thing, I flew 13,000 kilometers there [and] defeated their champion. They raised my hand, and with a raised head, confidently with the belt flew home. (H/T MMANews)
Makhachev is eluding to Ankalaev and Yan’s most recent fights against in which they would lose, decisions which many disagreed with.
While there have been discussions of an immediate rematch, there has been no official announcement on what direction the UFC plans.
Do you think Islam Makhachev should be ranked No.1?
