The fans might expect a second edition of Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski fireworks if certain results are favorable. The controversial super-fight at UFC 284 only fueled the murmurs of a potential rematch when the judges’ decision split the MMA community into two. Since then, the promoters of a potential rematch have gained traction as the featherweight champion eyes a second shot at the lightweight kingpin.

Realizing the nerves of the fans, UFC president Dana White accepted to cede away to the popular demand. However, the UFC head honcho clarified the super fight depends on the other results. Amid these talks, a dejected Beneil Dariush might scratch his head and curse his luck.

Notably, the 53-year-old at the post-UFC Vegas 70 press conference expressed his opinions about the same. While the American businessman addressed the post-UFC Vegas 70 dynamics, the persistent question of the rematch was pressed again. Listing the priority, he clarified Yair Rodriguez and Volkanovski‘s fight and assumes a higher arrangement. A similar case is with the Dagestani champion, who might face the winner of Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush. However, the winner might have to wait a little longer as the rematch might be slotted before their title shot.

The potential rematch scenario that hurts Beneil Dariush’s chances

Talking to reporters, White praised the newly crowned interim featherweight champion. Further, he specified, “So now you got Yair versus Volkanovski right. We’ll see what happens with Islam and where he ends up fighting next.”

Following this, he added, “You have to do, Yair. You have to do that fight. I mean, the guy came out and absolutely dominated a stud that night, and uh, and then you have the rematch after they both fight again.”

Therefore, implying the long wait for Dariush, if he prevails over ‘Do Bronx’ at UFC 288.

How did the fans react to the rotten luck of Beneil Dariush?

A user wrote, “If Beneil wins over Oliviera then he needs to stop being overlooked just because he isn’t a trash talker.”

Someone said, “If Beneil wins 50 more fights he will be in the discussion for a title fight… Maybe!!!”

A comment declared, “Beneil shouldn’t even have to fight Charles, he’s on a 8 fight win streak and we finally have a chance for a new tire challenger and they’re gonna make him fight someone who just got pumped by the champ and possibly give them another chance “

A fan expressed, “poor beneil, he’ll never get a title shot”

Another user stated, “Should be Islam vs Dariush/Oliveira winner, Volk vs Yair & if both men win THEN the rematch”

Someone noted, “If beneil gets overlooked again in my eyes a watcher of ufc for 15 plus years, I will be sad to see that this is no longer the fight championships but instead the fan circus.”

Another comment put, “I feel sorry for Beneil…”
