Family is Beneil Dariush's first priority in life

Beneil Dariush was riding an eight-fight winning streak until recently. He looked poised to fight for the UFC title with another win or two. Unfortunately, he lost to former champion Charles Oliveira in his next fight at UFC 289. While fans may feel sorry for him, losses in combat sports hold little importance for the Assyrian-American fighter.

While speaking to Shamiran Media at the 88th Assyrian Convention, Dariush revealed his outlook on life and said that he puts family and his culture at the forefront and strives to build a better life.

“My pleasure. Not just [that we have to recognize being Assyrian, but], we have to recognize that family is number one. If we recognize family is number one and we focus on family and [if] we do the things that our parents didn’t do, we will be able to grow as a nation but most importantly as a family.”
