Beneil Khobier Dariush[3] (born May 6, 1989) is an American professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As of October 22, 2024, he is #8 in the UFC lightweight rankings.[4]

Background

[edit]

Dariush was born and raised to Assyrian Christian parents on a farm near Urmia in Iran. [5][6][7] When he was nine, he and his parents left Iran emigrating to America where they already had several relatives from their large extended family. At the time, Beneil and his sister Beraeil did not speak English, so they spent most of the time playing with their cousins.[8]

Dariush is a devout Christian, often making a note of his religious affiliation during UFC media events, promotional work, and post-fight interviews. In keeping with this faith, he sponsors an orphanage and Christian school in Haiti known as the Cap-Haïtien Children's Home.[9]
