I've always believed if Beneil's coaches worked on his speed and aggressiveness he's right there. Mostly speed...quickness. He has all the tools. Fantastic fighter.
He’s just not super athletic, there’s only so much he can do about that. He’s a very good fighter thoug
Q❤qqqqqq qq qqqq
They all claim to be warriors but this guy is the definition of being a warrior without claiming it.salute
He’s so washed, only casuals said he will be champ. he got ko’d stiff by alexander hernandez inside 1 round back in the day.
belal dariush 😂 he’s belal muhammad of lightweight. no ppv no charisma. lay and pray watching paint dry fighting style. dropped gamrot once and was fence stalling for 15 minutes
Warrior? 😂😂😂 holy F
Warriors?? Bruh. A stepping stone if anything
@TobiPhree not true. Defense lacks, especially striking defense and his last 2 fights show that. IQ and transitions need some work too, don't call it if it isn't there
Beneil is most definitely a BMF. One of the only guys who isnt trying to camp out on their ranking and will actually fight all challengers
Beneil, everything happens for a reason. Gods plan is the greatest! 🙏
A minor setback for a major comeback.
Beneil still my favorite fighter. I absolutely love this guy
Arman said Beneil Darieush was the most respectful opponent he has ever faced
Okay? We don't need a fkn relayed msg tf u on😂
This is really how you take a loss. It’s awesome to see. Respect to Benny. 🔥
Please don't retire. You just had a bad run. You still have tons of potential
Respect
Benny is such a respected G 🫡
No
deserved. belal dariush got ko’d stiff multiple times in ufc career 😂
Beneil is such a savage. The attitude is do good. God bless you sir. You are a someone I look up to.
Beneil is 1 of those guys that it feels like everyone is a fan of. Hope to see him back in the win column when he's fully recovered and wants to fight. Maybe at 170 so the weight cuts aren't so depleting and the competition isn't so fast
Beneil is too honourable for his own good, but wouldn't want him to be any other way. Keep the faith Beneil!
Let’s go Beneal.. time to get back on top.. He needs to start fast and not so slow… as if he life depends on it. Let’s go Beneal one more time.
The shot Beneil got caught by was very unorthodox. Same like Umar Nurma.. did at 135. The knee up, switch superman punch style. Anybody could get caught with that. Also, it landed flush on the button. I think Dariush should forget it like bad luck and take the next fight to see if he still got it💪
Sweetheart of a man 👊
Top class what a great man and mind Beneil shows at all times. Much respect 👍
Benny suffered an even worse situation a few years back when he was viciously KO'd before and after a draw and he came back to go on his 8 fight run. He did better against T-Ferg than Chandler after (instant, second round head-kick aside) and did better against Gamrot than Arman. It's not that Benny probably doesn't still have it, it's that, as is the risk with fighting, he's getting demolished in these last two before he can really show anything of substance. I think he should go for Fiziev next.
u want beniel to fkn die or what?
why would you want him to go up against another elite striker like Fiziev? he would have no answer to Fiziev's muay thai.
@PandaBoy-zi2hg thats what im saying dawg. Beneil has the ground game to beat him but i doubt he can even get him to the ground. Fizievs tdd in his last fight was fkn insane up until he got injured
Fiziez will KO him harder than Arman, so no! Let Benny fight someone like Bobby Green, Dan Hooker or something as a tune up fight for the elites of the division.
Cant say enough how awesome Brett is. Realy the best in the business and paired with one of the nicest guys out there makes for an amazing interview
He's not nice. He's far right.
@Music1222 no he isn't tf 😂😂 Brett is a known leftist
@@rollin60z Beneil is far right
Beneil your are a great fighter do you what is best for you
Keep your head up benny, you are a warrior. You still got it benny. You just got caught. Cant wait to see you back brother.
Ur real thk u lv u
Always lv ur parents n always help them
Ur a champion 💪
I will say right now you should be champion bro
Getting knocked out in the first round Reminds me of false starts in a drag race. Me and my brother would prepare for months and then something would go wrong and we couldn't launch the bike correctly at the start and fail. All those months of practice and spending on bike would go to waste in a few seconds.
interview Arman, the winner.
He is not exciting. He is boring.
@@samwho1731for real 🇦🇲 robot 😂😂
He will bounce back
Dudes so humble about being humble lol
Beneil is the champion🎉
Whenever he was finished with strikes in the UFC it was always in R1. He's a slow starter that can be put on the back foot early by an aggressive and powerful fighter.
David Goggins should train Beneil
Listen he human being sooner or later he Smart.
Mr. Dariush, I respect you very much
And the measure of your success is not what happens in the few minutes of a fight
Benny has the personality I wish I had!
2 fights ago, Im gonna make it look easy against these guys
If Paddy wins Benny vs Paddy just makes sense to me
When’s the Tony interview dropping
❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad he clarified his butter
Whatever Benito decides he has got a supporter in me. I’ve watched his fights since he fought Drakkar Klose in 2020 on UFC 278.
278 usman vs edwards?
Beneil just got caught. Sad to see him questioning himself so much
Easily my favorite fighter of all time, no competition. I want him to be champion, but faith and health first. I'm a fan no matter what he chooses, just be healthy.
Bro are you a Christian?
If yes i had a question.
Now champ 🏆😁🥺 in ur Life investment of all ur Time
man that fight was hard to watch especially when you are a fan of his. Certainly I was expecting a great fight but hey this is MMA. One of the few things I can agree on with Dana is that this sport is f%&((ing crazy and crazy shttt happens all the time
In the Oliveira fight Beneil was throwing punches at the air and at the canvas. It was really alarming how inaccurate his shots were. Not sure if he can patch up the holes at this age.
Exactly, his strength, accuracy, posture and fight IQ is getting to a level every fighter can benefit from unfortunately.
I mean if you're getting knocked out in both fights in the first then it's a tactical mistake and lack of defense, even on his win-streak he got hurt bad in a bunch of them
Beneil vs Dustin next
I wonder how a fight between Benny and ACA'S LW Artem Reznikov would play out
Please protect yourself Benny
Beneil Dariush vs Jalin Turner would be 🔥
He should retire & compete in those grappling/ju jitsu tournaments to scratch the competing itch...dude has a lot to live for. That last KO looked brutal. Keep your mind healthy & live for the future.
Yeah honenstly not a bad idea
That's a losers mentality
@@user-kf7ov2fi4h ok, you're right. Fight until you die or get brain damage & can't play with your kids. At least random UA-cam gladiator guy will respect it. You're right. I'm a loser. 🙏🏿
He needs to give it one more go for the title if he loses again he should retire great dude
He’s so tough but a bit too reckless to be a champion . Gets caught too often . I wanna see him vs Benoit St. Denis . That would be a crazy fight . They both fight to break their opponents. We’ll see who breaks first
Is this a official channel??? 😅
Benny is still a beast, but the bigger problem is that he's never had a good chin and he's now fighting the very best guys in the world now.
Very pitty for last two fights
Real mother flower 🌸
Has anybody looked at Raphael cordeiro's gyn results lately? It may very well be the issue that coaches arent good enough over there.
exactly my thoughts anytime his guys fight top level opponents his guys lose ex. Giga and Kattar, Gastelum can’t keep up with the top and now Benny. i’ve always thought this glad i’m not the only one
@@1akerFan24 vettori as well. Dudes who have potential but can't seem to get into the top echelons. The problem most likely are the coaches combined with B+/A- grade fighters.
I do think he can be champ. What I've noticed really in all his fights, obviously more so in his last two, is was he'd have a slow start. His last fight against Tsarukyan I did get a vibe that Tsarukyan went in there with a shark smelling blood instinct. That right hand he threw after the knee was coming from a dude that just wanted to land something imo.
Unfortunately, Beneil seems to have peaked early before the injuries and the UFC stalling him out due to politics and marketing. Similar career to that of Tony Ferguson... both could've been champs, but the pieces didn't align. It's unfortunate.
No politics buddy.
Beniel just doesnt seem to belong in top3 or maybe top 5.
U r right he is another Tony.
Benny got screwed. He definitely earned a title shot before he fought Charles. His record looked just as good if not better than Islam's at that time.
I don't know but i kinda had a feeling he was gonna loose his last fight. His energy was off like he cut too much weight and was drained a bit n was a bit slow in weigh in and walk out. I think its hard for him cuz just when he was close to the top of the mountain now he has to start n climb up the ranks again.
He said his weight cut was great and he felt in better shape than ever. I think he just fought someone who was better than him and with more of a brutal streak.
@@a9029k yea. I think he should start fast.
He is just getting old
Reminds me of Columbo
Turner vs Dariush
Make it happen
Gaylin 7 foot turner has a record of 13/8 or someshit what’s the point lmao dude needs stop fighting weight cuts 😂
@@haga7596 Tune up fight to see how he does and if he can still take shots
i would say one more, retire win or lose
I'll always root for Beneil, i've always hoped he could make it to a title fight.
Beneil don’t retire yet bro , you were on a roll and had to wait on the ufc to get to the top and this has sucked
Beneil’s saying he’s not fighting to be top 10 he wants to be number 1.
Well that’s definitely not happening since you’re getting knocked spark out by the top guys of the division, 2 KO losses in a row and the last one you were out cold, the doctors had to wake you up.
Beneil fights again he’s getting knocked out again and that’s it for him.
Retired
Not yet bro don’t go
Love Dariush but I feel like ever since he’s become a parent he’s more passive in the octagon whereas back in the day he was willing to die in there.
bro why didn"t you do it ? if you accepted the fight you should have thought about every think and your courage is admirable and anyone else could have lost do not make it hard on yourself to fight or not to fight just be a little faster if you are out of the ranking I steel love you beniel but I believe you are the first
Dude needs to beat someone in the top 5
Sad to say, but Beneil missed his window to become champion. He doesnt have "IT" the hunger, and the Will
Dariush sabes que puedes volver una vez más ...solo que debes de cambiar tu estilo tienes 34 años vamos aún te queda gas....cambia de equipo o vuélvete más agresivo y cuidando más tu guardia sabes que ese volado de zurda que tienes tumba a cualquier juntos con tu jiu jitus puedes hacer que sucumba cualquiera ......aún te queda una última chanza
Yeah I can see it sucks months in a camp, then its over in couple minutes
If the ufc would have got you a fight while u were on top I feel like this would be a different conversation
That's the UFC for you
He was on top when he got knocked the f out
okay say he fought charles for the belt would he have got a different result?
Gotta go up to 170 that’s the only viable option. Too many weight cuts for his age time to bulk up and reset in a new division the 155 division is too stagnant Benny will never get a title fight if he stays at 155. If Benny wants to fight his best bet is to go up in weight. At least give his chin a better chance he always looks so drained even walking into the cage he looks brittle I think going to 170 is the way to go.
This guy has been obviously suffering mentally and its evident in the way he speaks. I know how tough and unforgiving MMA at this level is. But Beneil could not cope with that complicated difficulties. Honestly his body movement while fighting is not of a high level fighter. He has a lot holes and gaps. He should take care of his mental struggles.
i hate benny had to lose this way, i thought he'll give arman problems going the distance
Here it is
Beneil is done when you start asking questions to yourself you dont have the answer to its time to chalk it up and go back to the drawing board
Beneil may have lost but the hairline is still undefeated.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Man
I never knew God was such a big UFC fan.
The dude is literally done. Should retire instead of boosting his losing streak.
Even during his run Dariush got caught and rocked a few times. Only difference is these last few shut his lights out. As a fan I feel like he’s just paying for his mistakes a little more at the top, not that he’s slowing down. All respect, he’s a G and I’m just a clueless fan.
I mean you got caught really early bro… sht can happen to anyone… recover and come back.
There was an era when fighters and analysts were different people. Dariush and Chandler clubbed the two even while being active fighters..leave it man. Don't exhaust your head everywhere that's not needed. Go fight for a win...rest all to leave upon others.. especially the discussion part.
Thank goodness he didnt get to hop on the mic after his last fight and make a very try hard forced cringe post fight speech to try to play peoples heart strings to get fans
Want to see how tough you are in a fist fight
Nothing can replace...ur family general .n ECT....I call u God's hELPER ❤️❤️🥰
Never text ndive automobile
I remember watching Beniel when he still had short black hair
So like last year?
Who tf is brett okomotto
It.s a fight nothing more. .....
I find it so strange how out of any sport he could work for, Brett is somehow hired to interview ufc fighters. The grittiest & toughest dudes on earth. Brett is such a softy its almost uncomfortable. Always seems cautious about hurting guys feelings. Always tries to down play everybody's losses. "Your so great beniel, dont stop, it wasnt you, it was a fluke" type sh*t lol
fun dude but pfl at best
Love Dariush, but he look like he be losing years of his life from interview to interview =P
