Layouts before the fight

Arman Tsarukyan is only two victories away from the desired rematch with Islam Makhachev. In 2019, Arman gave the future UFC champion the hardest fight of his career. He did not allow himself to be defeated by one wicket, but he clearly did not do enough to sway the judges’ opinions in his favor – the victory went to Makhachev by unanimous decision.

After that defeat, Arman went on a winning streak, which was interrupted at the sixth fight in the summer of 2022, when Tsarukyan lost to Mateusz Hamrot on points in a fairly close fight. Then the Russian’s stamina failed him: in the championship rounds, he increasingly lost concentration and allowed himself to be transferred, which played a decisive role in determining the winner.

Now Armand is only 27 years old, but he is already a few steps away from a title fight and has the status of one of the most talented lightweight fighters of the new generation. Ahead is a fight with Beneil Dariush, who has already missed his title chance – and, perhaps, irrevocably.

In the summer of 2023, Dariush lost to former UFC champion Charles Oliveira in the first round. Due to this defeat, one of his longest active winning streaks, which totaled 8 fights, was interrupted.

Now Dariush needs to defend his fairly high fourth place in the UFC top, and Tsarukyan, if he wins, may well become one of the contenders for Makhachev’s belt in 2024.

Forecast for the fight Beneil Dariush – Arman Tsarukyan

Defeating Dariush will not be easy. Beneil has vast experience behind him – the Iranian fought 22 fights in the UFC. And he is at least as good as Arman in grappling skills.

The only weapon that makes Tsarukyan a favorite is his versatile stand-up skills. As the Oliveira fight showed, Dariush has problems with guys who string punches and kicks together. But it’s clearly not worth expecting that Tsarukyan will come out and simply knock out the most experienced Dariush.

Our predictions for the fight between Beneil Dariush and Arman Tsarukyan:

• Arman Tsarukyan’s victory on points – for 2.95;
• total rounds more than 3.5 – for 1.85.
