Dariush: Topuria chose Gaethje over Makhachev for easier game plan

Beneil Dariush believes Ilia Topuria did not have a clear plan for fighting Islam Makhachev, which led to his decision to fight Justin Gaethje instead. Dariush suggested that Topuria viewed the Gaethje fight as a good money-making opportunity with a much simpler tactical approach compared to preparing for Makhachev. The comments reflect Dariush's perspective on Topuria's strategic decision-making in selecting opponents.
