Beneil Dariush is confident against Renato Moicano ahead of UFC 317
“I mean, he’s a veteran, he fights smart. He takes advantage of people’s mistakes,” Dariush said. “But, I would say this last fight against Islam, he lost his cool, which is why he lost the fight. He rushed a little bit. I think he could have stayed in his guard a little bit longer… The Islam (fight) wasn’t short-notice, he had a full camp, he was preparing for me. I’m a southpaw, Makhachev is a southpaw, and we both do a lot of takedowns. Stylistically, there wasn’t a huge difference. I just think you saw a big difference.”
With Dariush having confidence, he expects to smash and finish Moicano at UFC 317 to return to the win column.
“I’ll just say this, I think I’m going to smash him, that’s as much as I can give you,” Dariush said.
If Beneil Dariush gets the win, he believes he’ll be closing in on a title shot at lightweight.
“It just puts me back in the win column, and I can go up higher. That’s what I’m looking for. After this fight, I’m hoping to be one or two fights away from the title,” Dariush concluded.
