"Yeah this is a good fight. It's exciting, he's a good fighter, he's very skilled. He's more experienced now,"
"I just think stylistically it's a fun fight for me, and I think I'm better. I'm excited for the fight."
"When I watch him I see more of a grappler to be honest with you, but everybody sees him differently. I would say current culture is very short-attention spanned so what you see a lot is his highlights, but if you watch the entirety of his fights, clearly he's a great grappler,"
"I wasn't aware of it, but it sounds cool. It sounds very cool. Even Cowboy (Donald Cerrone) he had more wins because he went to 170 and whatever. I'm sure there's other guys that fought in different divisions, but it's still cool,"
Beneil Dariush will fight Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 322 in Madison Square Garden as he aims to reestablish his place among the lightweight elite. Dariush considers the matchup stylistically favorable and believes he is the superior fighter. He recognizes Saint-Denis's highlight-reel finishes but emphasizes that Saint-Denis is a strong grappler with clear dominance on the mat. A win would move Dariush into second place for all-time UFC lightweight victories, behind Jim Miller. Dariush was unaware of the milestone but found it notable and enters the bout prepared and excited.
