Beneil Dariush believes a title shot next would not be outside the realm of possibility for the #3 ranked lightweight contender.
Last weekend at UFC 262, Dariush completely dominated Tony Ferguson, winning by a clear cut unanimous decision. The win boosted Dariush UFC ranking to #3 where only Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier are the only contenders are ahead of him.
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Dariush explained how he could get the next title shot at the newly crowned champion, Charles Oliveira. Predominantly because of his 7 fight winning streak being the longest out of anyone in the top 3 contenders and partly due to the fact that big names like Conor McGregor sometimes have contract issues whereas he is ready to fight anytime.
