It took Dariush twenty fights to establish himself as a threat in the division. However, the highlight was when he called out Elon Musk in his post-fight interview. The call-out took the audience by surprise. After all, it was a reminder call for Elon Musk. Let us look at the incident and find out what happened.

UFC lightweight Beneil Dariush waited for months before Tesla gave him answers regarding a vehicle he bought in 2020 for his wife. According to reports, Dariush booked the vehicle for his pregnant wife six months ago and had not received the delivery. He made full use of this opportunity to bring light to his issue and ensured he did not let the chance go by.

As it turned out, all he needed to do was call out Elon Musk at one of the world’s leading events. The lightweight champion made sure he got the attention of the boss. And Elon Musk immediately took care of his complaint. After his appeal, Tesla immediately sent him the car, and Musk even apologized to the fighter on X (formerly Twitter).

Dariush was last seen at UFC 289, where he faced Charles Oliveira. He lost the match against the Brazilian after he was knocked out in the first round. Oliveira’s skills proved too much for him to handle that night. However, the 34-year-old has moved on from the loss and is now all set to fight Arman Tsarukyan in his next fight. Will he be able to get back to winning ways?
