American Top Team Jiu-Jitsu coach Marcos da Matta spoke about the upcoming fight between his ward Arman Tsarukyan and Beneil Dariush, which will take place on the night of December 3 in Austin (USA).
I think Arman is superior to Dariush in everything. He has better wrestling, better striking, they are almost equal in jiu-jitsu, but when Tsarukyan is on top, he tries to finish by aggressive ground-and-pound, and good elbow strikes. Arman sets himself up in a good position and then he starts punching.

Dariush last entered the octagon against Charles Oliveira in June of this year at UFC 289. That fight ended with Beneil's defeat by technical knockout in the first round. He has 22 wins, five losses and one draw.
