Welcome to our coverage of tonight’s UFC Austin results, featuring the highly anticipated matchup between Beneil Dariush and Arman Tsarukyan.
Dariush (22-6-1 MMA) is looking to make a comeback after his first-round knockout loss to Charles Oliveira. Before that, the 34-year-old had an impressive eight-fight winning streak.
Arman Tsarukyan (21-3 MMA) enters tonight’s headliner with a two-fight winning streak, scoring victories over Damir Ismagulov and Joaquim Silva in his recent fights.
The first round of the UFC Austin main event begins and the fighters exchange blows. Beneil Dariush makes the first move with a high kick that is blocked, followed by a low kick and a failed right-hand punch. Arman Tsarukyan responds with a jab, and Dariush lands another low kick. After circling, Arman lands a knee and a right-hand punch that sends Beneil crashing to the canvas, followed by some heavy ground and pound. What a performance from the rising lightweight contender!
