Dariush reacts to UFC 311 disappointment
“So I got a text message at around 4 AM, I don’t sleep when I’m cutting weight. I see Ali (Abdelaziz) text me saying ‘Hey, do you think you could make 155lbs?’ and I was like ‘Yeah I can’.” Dariush began to explain in an interview with The Schmo.
“I start to hear more stuff about Arman basically not being able to make it because I was thinking about it, if it was Makhachev having issues, they’re not gonna put me with Arman, we’ve fought already so I assumed it was Arman.
“I make weight and then hear more stuff that he’s not gonna make it and part of me is like, ‘Man, I think I’m gonna fight for the title’ so I come back to my room and work on rehydrating. Ali comes in and is like, ‘Hey listen, man, they’re giving it to Renato’,” Dariush continued.
“It’s excellent, I can’t complain, they’re giving me show and win money so you know, a lot of people are like, ‘I hope they take care of you’, they are I appreciate Dana and the UFC,” Dariush explained.
