Russian UFC fighter Arman Tsarukyan commented on the fight between Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush and named the reasons for the American fighter's bad form.
I was very surprised by the result. I thought Dariush would win by decision. I was shocked that Oliveira won so easily, but it means he's better and deserved this win. I think now he will fight for the title again.

"Dariush had a very difficult weight cut. He had a hard time losing weight, and that was the most important factor that caused him to perform poorly. When preparing for a fight, first of all, it is important that you have a good training camp. And secondly, you have to lose weight smoothly and only then there's the fight itself," Tsarukyan said in an interview with Telecomasia.net.
At UFC 289 in Vancouver, Brazil's Charles Oliveira won the co-main event June 11 with a first-round TKO over American of Assyrian descent Beneil Dariush.
