Moicano will take on Beneil
Dariush at UFC 311
on Jan. 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. Dariush
is coming off consecutive stoppage losses against Charles
Oliveira and Arman
Tsarukyan. While Carneiro doesn’t expect Dariush to be on his
prime, the Brazilian will prepare for the best version of his
opponent. Moicano plans on putting on a dominant display against
the Assyrian-American at UFC 311.
“Even if I think he is not on his prime, I will train and prepare
myself to the best version of Dariush,” Carneiro told Ariel
Helwani. “Because I know he lost couple in a row and now it’s time
to go for him. If he loses that one, he is going to be in a bad
situation. I have something to say, ‘You will be in a bad situation
because I’m not losing. I cannot afford to lose.’ Jan. 18 I’m going
over there and finish, dominate and beat Beneil Dariush.”

UFC 311 will be headlined by Islam
Makhachev putting his lightweight title on the line against
Arman
Tsarukyan. Moicano believes his placement on the same card is
not a coincidence. Moicano plans on calling for the next title shot
against the winner of Makhachev vs. Tsarukyan if he can run through
Dariush. Making his case, Moicano notes that he hasn’t lost in his
last six outings at lightweight — which includes five finishes.
“I’m pretty sure UFC knows what they are doing,” he said.
“Especially fighting on a big card, huge card, on the same day as
the Islam Makhachev [vs.] Arman Tsarukyan. Plan is go over there,
dominate Dariush, finish him and get the mic and make my case for a
title fight… If you look my record right now, in the lightweight
division I am on a six-fight winning streak with five finish. Who
else has these stats?”
