Beneil Dariush, Dana White and Mateusz Gamrot
UFC president Dana White has other plans for Beneil Dariush, which means Mateusz Gamrot has an opportunity to shine. Dana talks about it with Kevin Iole in an interview for Yahoo Sports.
Islam Makhachev and Beneil were scheduled to fight in the main event of UFC Fight Night 202 held in February, however, Dariush withdrew due to an ankle injury. The fight continued, with Islam being partnered with Bobby Green instead, who he sent packing one round.
Dana considered rebooking Islam vs. Beneil at first. However, according to his interview with Yahoo Sports, he has other plans that may come to fruition, ones involving Mateusz Gamrot.

So… You have to make a meeting tomorrow, boys.” He continues, “The main event was high level, incredible. I mean, just an amazing fight.
