The matchup between Beneil Dariush and Renato Moicano was originally scheduled to take place at UFC 311 in January 2025. However, the event took an unexpected turn when Arman Tsarukyan withdrew from his headliner bout against Islam Makhachev. In a surprising twist, 'Money Moicano' stepped in as the replacement fighter.
Unfortunately for Dariush, this sudden change left him without an opponent, meaning he missed the opportunity to compete at UFC 311. Despite this setback, the promotion ensured that he received his fight purse, and Dariush had no complaints about not being able to compete that night.
In the rescheduled bout, Dariush overcame a two-fight losing streak that had seen him fall to Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan. On the other hand, Moicano experienced consecutive defeats for the second time in his professional MMA career.
