Beneil Dariush has offered his perspective on why Ilia Topuria chose to fight Justin Gaethje instead of Islam Makhachev. According to Dariush, Topuria did not have a clear plan for facing Makhachev, which influenced his decision. Dariush believes Topuria viewed the Gaethje fight as a better money-making opportunity and one that was tactically simpler to prepare for. He suggests that developing a game plan for Gaethje is significantly easier than formulating one for the highly skilled Makhachev.
