Beneil Dariush Warns Khamzat Chimaev Would ‘Maule’ Alex Pereira in Light Heavyweight Bout

Dariush weighed in on a potential Chimaev-Pereira clash, saying, “I don’t want Pereira to get mauled by Khamzat… I’m just being honest.” He praised middleweight champion Chimaev’s wrestling as “very different from the way Ankalaev wrestles.” Pereira, the reigning light heavyweight champion, is expected to defend his title next after his first-round knockout win over Magomed Ankalaev on 5 October.
