Beneil Dariush opens up on promises from Dana White and Co. after UFC 311 main event shakeup: "It’s excellent, I can’t complain"

Beneil Dariush recently expressed that he was pleased by the consideration Dana White and Co. showcased after he was removed from the UFC 311 card. Dariush also revealed what promises White had made.

Arman Tsarukyan's withdrawal from the UFC 311 headliner against Islam Makhachev just a day before the event shook up the MMA community. As a result, White promoted the backup fighter, Renato Moicano, to the main event to face Makhachev for the UFC lightweight title.

However, Moicano was already scheduled to appear against Dariush in a UFC 311 main-card encounter. The Brazilian's promotion to the main event left Dariush without a rival and led to White removing him from the card.

In a recent interview with The Schmo, Dariush revealed that White didn't neglect him after omitting him from the card. A recent update mentioned how he "appreciates" the UFC head honcho's decision to provide him with "show money" and "win money" despite not having to fight in the event.

"I mean, it’s excellent [Dana White and Co.'s response after removing him], I can't complain. They’re giving me show money and win money. You know, a lot of people are [saying], ‘I hope they take care of you’. They are. I appreciate Dana [White], I appreciate the UFC, I appreciate Hunter [Campbell]. They didn’t pull anything back where I can complain."
