Dariush vs. Camacho
Dariush vs. Camacho

Beneil Dariush was on a two-fight win streak heading into this fight. Frank Camacho returned to the Lightweight division in his last outing and ended his two-fight losing streak with a TKO win over Nick Hein in June earlier this year.

Round 1: Daruish went for the high body kick. He followed it up with a knee to the body. Dariush landed three clean left hands in the pocket. He went up high with the head kick. Dariush kept up the pressure with a straight right.

He changed levels, got the single leg and took Camacho down. He grabbed Camacho's back with relative ease and placed the under hooks and wrapped his arms around Camacho's neck for the RNC. He trapped Camacho's body with his legs, applied the squeeze and forced the tap. Absolutely slick!

Result: Beneil Dariush def. Frank Camacho via submission (read-naked choke) 2:02, Round 1)

It was Beneil Dariush's night. The Assyrian-American looked improved on the feet and was clinical once he got the fight down to the mat. The BJJ black belt is now on a three-fight win streak and on his way back to the top of the Lightweight division.
