Victim of harsh criticism for having refused an invitation to face Charles of the Bronx at UFC Rio, Benoit Saint-Denis had a fight scheduled against a lightweight veteran (up to 70,3 kg), Beneil Dariush. Currently ranked 13th in the category, the fighter is preparing to fight one month after the scheduled date for the event in the Marvelous City and will appear at UFC 322, in New York, on November 15th. The information was revealed by the Frenchman's academy and confirmed by SUPER FIGHTS.

Responsible for ending the unbeaten run of Mauricio Ruffy in the Ultimate when he finished the Brazilian in UFC Paris, Benoit became the target of questions due to the fact that he had made himself available to replace Do Bronx or Raphael Fiziev in case of unforeseen circumstances for the athletes. However, after the Kazakh was injured, the prospect ended up refusing to accept the call at the last minute, and Charles mocked him for his actions.

On the other hand, Dariush returns to the octagon after a great triumph over Renato MoicanoKnown for his grappling skills, the Kings MMA representative still dreams of a title shot. He's come close on multiple occasions, but has often been defeated by his opponents, as happened against Do Bronx and Arman Tsarukyan in their latest setbacks.
