UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski has given his prediction for the upcoming fight between Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush.
Saturday night, the UFC will make its big return to Canada. The American organization will be present at Rogers Arena in Vancouver for UFC 289 (see the event map here). During the co-main event, former lightweight champion and current No. 1 in the division Charles Oliveira will face No. 4, Beneil Dariush.
This fight is eagerly awaited by MMA fans, and is likely to shake the ground. In a video posted on his YouTube channel, current undisputed featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski gave his prediction for Oliveira vs. Dariush.
“This is the right fight for both of them in their careers. (…) Beneil is very comprehensive. His style and Charles’s are going to make this a fun fight. I think it’s going to be a firefight. Beneil is the favorite, and that’s probably legit. »
“We all know Charles can get the finish, submission and TKO. Submitting Dariush, I have a feeling it’s going to be tough. If I had to choose, I would say Charles by TKO. I can see this happening. I can also see Dariush winning. Beneil can even finish Charles. My pick would be Charles Oliveira by TKO. Charles has something to prove. He wants his title back. Very tight fight. I’m almost 50/50. »
In a few days, MMA fans will have the answer. Either way, Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush seem determined. In addition, the winner of this shock should win the next title-shot against Islam Makhachev.
