Beneil Dariush vs Renato Moicano at UFC 311

Beneil Dariush and Renato Moicano will meet in an excellent clash in the lightweight division, which will take place on January 18 at UFC 311.

Beneil Dariush and Renato Moicano will face each other at the UFC‘s first major gala in 2025. The duel between fighters ranked in the top ten of the lightweight rankings will take place at UFC 311 in Los Angeles.

Renato Moicano has long been clamoring for bigger challenges and fights against fighters in the top five rankings. The Brazilian will still have to wait for such clashes, as UFC matchmakers have finally decided to dust off Beneil Dariush.

The American hasn’t fought a fight in 2024, and he will start the new 2025 year with a strong punch and face the superbly disposed Moicano. The Benny vs Money duel could stir up a lot in the balance of power in the up to 70 kilograms category.

Both fighters are ranked just behind Mateusz Gamrot, and it seems that the winner of this skirmish can leapfrog the Pole. Especially if we take into account the fact that Gamer is not yet contracted for his next fight.

Renato Moicano has a string of four wins in a row and there is no doubt that he will be the favorite in his clash with his 35-year-old rival, who has lost his last two fights by falling to the boards after blows from his rivals.
