Beneil Dariush focuses on coaching and may retire from UFC fighting

Beneil Dariush, a veteran of 26 UFC fights, is contemplating ending his fighting career, prioritizing coaching instead. After a recent setback in his performances, where he has lost four of his last five bouts, Dariush has found more satisfaction in coaching his fighters. He will be cornering Uros Medic on November 14 at UFC 334 and plans to continue developing as a coach. Dariush has distanced himself from pursuing competition, though he is not officially announcing retirement. He aims to establish his own team, Dariush Martial Arts, potentially by 2027.
