Beneil Dariush can’t catch a break as his upcoming lightweight fight with Charles Oliveira has been canceled. However, it seems like the fighter did get an option to meet president Dana White after that incident.

The fight between Dariush and Oliveira was an important fight and the winner would have gone further to challenge Islam Makhachev for the lightweight championship. But due to a unknown injury, the Brazilian pulled out his name from the card.

While talking about it to MMA reporter, The Schmo, Dariush mentioned he was disappointed and talked with Dana White about it. According to Dariush, during their conversation White showed him some future UFC plans featuring Donald Trump.

He said: “We were going back and forth about it and then he knows I’m a big fan of Trump so he’s like ‘Hey let me show you some stuff we’re doing, some stuff with Trump’ and I felt like almost like good cop, bad cop like you know had the bad cop first thing I had the good cop but man I get along well with Dana.”

Dariush, being a big fan of the former president, enjoyed that conversation with White a lot. It seems like White wants to get his old friend Trump to be a part of UFC and it is definitely going to be huge.
