Aslanbek Badaev predicts Quillan Salkilld will defeat Beneil Dariush

Russian fighter Aslanbek Badaev has stated that Beneil Dariush has no chance against Quillan Salkilld in their upcoming lightweight bout. Badaev explained that Dariush's best years are behind him and that the veteran fighter can no longer absorb damage the way he once did. According to Badaev, Dariush is not the same fighter he used to be and has taken significant damage throughout his career. Badaev believes Salkilld should be able to finish the job against the declining former contender. The prediction reflects a growing consensus that Dariush, despite his technical skills, may be fading as a top-tier lightweight.
