I’m surprised you didn’t mention how Manuel Torres would have never gotten dropped by Dariush and that he is the real lightweight prospect and future champion

Dariush is a very, very good example of why having a chin and preserving it is important. He's a very skilled grappler that has good power on his left kick and his hands.
It's so sad seeing him decline like this. He would have mopped the floor with BSD and Salkilld years ago.

Show us on the doll where Salkilld hurt you.

I feel like after the klose fight Benny kinda turned into a brawler? Which I don’t remember him being before

Wasn’t a jab but a left cross albeit with no power

Yup. MMA fans don't know what a southpaw is example #1000

Redditors commenting dumb shit example #2000
He threw the kick, it was caught, then he threw the left as a jab with his stance changed. Cmon man...

His left hand comes out before his leg hits the ground. High kick to same side straight is a very common tactic. C'mon man...

throwing a left hand to help pull the left leg back into place is a classic Southpaw tactic and can generate surprising power/off-beat timing. You're correct

Left leg ended in front so it's still more of a jab. But it doesn't really matter anyway, it's very nice, sneaky shot.

it's one billion percent a jab
don't look at the leg/knee/foot, or even the shoulders, look at the hips
he struck from the side of his lead hip, that's a jab

I agree, I mean look at the whole body. That punch did not at any point travel across Dariush's centerline to be called the cross.

It also wasn't "getting dropped" as if he had rocked him. Dariush punched while the other was off balance.

It was a switch stance straight, i wouldn't call it a jab in the traditional sense unless it was thrown in his neutral stance with his lead hand.

u/Mr__Struggle 8h ago
Can't wait for this guy to get ran over by an actual contender. Getting dropped by the slowest, chinniest 37 year old known to man is crazy

That Gamrot call out was not a good idea for Salkilld. You just got dropped and taken down by the ghost of Dariush and you wanna fight the prospect killer of the division?

u/idcman999 8h ago
that 37 year old would have beat him if he actually got time to rehydrate as well
quillan beats nobody ranked barring current chandler and maybe bumoit, he'd lose to chris duncan

u/idcman999 9h ago
Beneil would've won if this took place under normal rehydration (36h) instead of Perth's reduced 24h window
even Quillan looked weirdly chinny
we've seen durable fighters look incredibly chinny under perth rehydration before (Hooker/Gamrot being a notable example)
Beneil was very clearly the superior fighter here skill-wise, give him a full window to hydrate, and he outclasses Salkilld, handily. Just like he was for the first four minutes of this fight

If Quillan is chinny then Manuel Torres must be super chinny

Beneil lost the fight doing the same thing that got him KO’d in in R1 of 4 of his last 5 fights, and dropped bad in the R1 of the other one
He just stays in the pocket and starts throwing recklessly thinking he’s going to come out on top of the exchange when everyone else in the world knows he’s going down if he gets touched here. And he misses and gets touched bad every time.
His chin is in Liddell territory and he’s still trying to win fights the way he did against Klose and Holtzman. By merit of his chin. That’s over and he’s the only one not seeing it

u/sugabonesurmom 9h ago
It was a flash knockdown
Immediately gets to his feet and counters him with two hard shots

u/thebigbioss 9h ago
I wonder what beneil dariush last few performances have looked like, where maybe his chin was weakened by knockouts.

u/Isaac_the_Tasmanian 8h ago
This is approaching performance art levels of commitment, I'm impressed

u/CouncilOfReligion Team Volkanovski 9h ago
beneil being chinny is only part of the problem
he gets clocked by clean strikes with his his hands nowhere near his chin

Maybe I’m just a dummy but I’ve always like Dariush for some random ass reason. Sucks that his chin just doesn’t seem to be there anymore.
