Beneil Dariush offered his perspective on Ilia Topuria's decision to fight Justin Gaethje instead of Islam Makhachev. According to Dariush, Topuria did not have a clear tactical plan for facing Makhachev, which influenced his choice to pursue the Gaethje matchup instead. Dariush suggested that Topuria viewed the Gaethje fight as a more financially attractive opportunity for which it would be much simpler to prepare a strategic game plan compared to the challenges presented by Makhachev. This represents Dariush's analysis of Topuria's strategic decision-making in opponent selection.
