Thanks for sharing.
He should speak to his opponent before the fight because his mickey mouse voice will his opponent underestimate him for sure
IRI's politics is no different than handling a pressure cooker ..... As the pressure builds up, you slowly let the steam out just a tad bit so that you don't see overflow, and once the pressure from below is less, you put the lid down again and raise the temperature. -
good luck to him. anyone has any update on amir ali akbari?Comment

Dariush won by split decision... I actually thought Johnson should've won but hey I'm not complaining... perhaps Johnson now realizes that it is not such a good idea fighting somebody born in Iran

Johnson? Nothing special what I know of but Johnson has been doing really good since his fight again Reza Madadi, won every fight since then and now lost to Dariush... Before the fight against Reza, I remember John coming out in a American flag jacket and Reza silenced him pretty well... Anyway, good to see Dariush doing well and Reza is back too now, will fight in Dublin in October.Originally posted by EKBATAN View Postmaa bachehaaye iroonim

youtube also said it was the wrong decision didnt see the fight myself good for dariush! well done
NASHVILLE – To the surprise of many and to the dismay of the crowd, Beneil Dariush was awarded a split-decision victory over Michael Johnson after what seemed like a relatively easy fight to score in the other direction.
Yet while even Dariush (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) couldn’t say what he’d done to win the decision, he left with the victory while Johnson (16-9 MMA, 8-5 UFC) left shaking his head in disgust.
The lightweight bout co-headlined today’s UFC Fight Night 73 event at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 2 and UFC Fight Pass.
For Dariush, a lot in this fight seemed to hinge on his ability to get it to the mat, which he never managed to do for any length of time. Johnson stuffed most of his takedown attempts before they got anywhere close. Late in the first, a stinging left hand counter from Johnson briefly put Dariush on the floor, though he would bounce back to his feet quickly showing no ill effects.
Still, that punch made an impression on Dariush, who gave Johnson’s left a wide berth for the rest of the fight. With Dariush darting out more than in, and Johnson pursuing him all across the cage, both the effective striking and octagon control aspects of the scoring criteria appeared to be in Johnson’s favor.
In fact, the only round that Dariush seemed close to winning was the third, when he put his long jab to good use and opened up with kicks to the body and head, leaving Johnson swinging at air when he tried to respond. Even then, his margin of victory seemed too slim to nullify what seemed like a clear lead for Johnson after the first two rounds.
The judges, however, had other plans, with two of the three giving Dariush the fight, two rounds to one. It was a decision that seemed to take even Dariush by surprise, while it left Johnson to storm off angrily as soon as it was announced.
For Dariush, the win will go down as his fifth consecutive victory in the UFC. The loss for Johnson snaps a four-fight winning streak, handing him his first defeat since April of 2013.
The fight will also cause a shakeup in the NOS Energy Drink MMA lightweight rankings. Dariush entered the fight ranked No. 15. while Johnson was in the top 10, checking in exactly at No. 10.

I watched the whole fight and i dont get why people think johnson deserved it. Dariush was CLEARLY landing a lot more shots. Kicks Jabs knees and johnson kept missing his shots. He just kept throwing but not connecting. Just cuz he had a few hard shots he didn't deserve to win after how much Dariush was connecting round after round. Its bullshit how they don't understand technicalities. Crowd was booing and yelling usa usa just cuz they show him as Iranian. Kinda fukked up how he got treated.Comment

Dariush was kicking the shit out of him all fight, johnson couldnt even do one. Dariush attempted to take him down, wrestle him down, but it didnt happen, but still a lot more attempts than johnson.
also, what are they counting as "landing" their shots? johnsons shots were usually blocked or dariush was ducking them. while dariush's jabs were connecting right in johnson's face. 3rd round for sure dariush had him....2nd round goes to johnson and 1st round would be the only one up in the air, but again watch the fight and then tell me johnson deserved. was he faster? yes, was he throwing more punches? yes but he was not effective, dariush nullified all his attempts and by the 3rd round you could see who the more pro fighter was.
it was a purely technical win, dariush showed his experience in this fight, he's not flashy and people liked johnson more cuz he had a few hard punches but overall didnt do shit to deserve a win, he was throwing shadows while dariush was collecting points for majority of hits, whether punch, kick, kneed, attempted take down.
if u have full stats i would be interested to seeComment
