Quick read
Beneil Dariush believes Ilia Topuria did not have a clear game plan for facing Islam Makhachev, which influenced his decision to fight Justin Gaethje instead. Dariush suggests Topuria viewed the Gaethje matchup as a money fight that would be significantly easier to prepare for compared to facing Makhachev. According to Dariush, developing a strategic plan for Gaethje is much simpler than preparing for the complexities that Makhachev presents. The comments reflect Dariush's perspective on Topuria's recent fight selection and strategic considerations.
