Beneil Dariush has offered his analysis 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-making. Dariush believes Topuria viewed the Gaethje fight as a money-making opportunity with a more straightforward game plan to prepare. He suggested that developing a strategy against Gaethje is considerably simpler compared to the challenges presented by Makhachev's skillset.
