Iranians in MMA

Hence why I originally said not everyone is as willing to wave the flag of IR as you'd like, doesn't make them any less Iranian. But the fallacies you brought up of him "not being Iranian" and stating "they are the ones saying it" were complete bullshit though.

Pannie Kianzad also refuses to walk out with IR's flag and has said time after time the UFC doesn't allow her to walk out with the Shiro Khorshid flag otherwise she would.

You can choose to not support him and I'll continue to support all fighters of Iranian heritage and we'll leave it at that.

Barghi's got a fight on TNT in a couple nights, that's one I'm sure we can all get behind.

If you can’t see the night and day difference between Kianzad’s position and Daruish’s position I don’t know what to tell you. Moussasi also doesn’t come out with an Iran flag. It’s not the flag I have a problem with. It’s the complete dismissal and almost contempt for any connection with Iran that only Dariush portrays. I’ve seen interviews that he even mentions the Iranians that comment to him about not saying he’s Iranian. He simply laughs it off and says “the truth is I’m Assyrian”. He only does interviews with Assyrian groups. Both Moussasi and Kianzad have done interviews with Iranian media.

All of the people you mention, from Moussasi to Beitashour, I support with all my heart. I have no ill will towards Dariush, but I don’t support him like I do these others.

Everything you are saying is correct man, I don't get why people on here are fighting to support a guy that doesn't represent them

There are tons of interviews he does with Assyrian organizations on youtube. Knock yourself out. I don't feel like spending my afternoon rewatching them just to show you.

Also take a look at his entire instagram. Count the number of posts he makes about his Assyrian heritage, his American pride, and then anyyyyything having to do with Iran. Then decide if he has absolutely any pride in his connection with Iran.

My only point is that this website is to connect and share our connection with Iran and Iranian things. To glorify the good we all bring to this world and shed light where there is a lot of darkness because of world politics. I don't post on this forum about Khabib or Usman, two fighters I really like, because they have no real connection to Iran. I feel the same about Dariush. Really good fighter, and I am actually a fan, but posting about him here just because he was born there but shows no real interest in being associated with the people or culture of that country makes it a bit tenuous at best. That's all I am saying.

You've yet to provide a single source to back your bullshit claims. The veracity of your statements is to be questioned when you keep lying by saying "he's not Iranian" and "they're the ones saying it". He is in fact Iranian whether you like it or not, and I've yet to see him say he isn't.

Again, just because he has interviews with Assyrian outlets & is proud of his Assyrian heritage doesn't mean he's not Iranian.

Give us one source where he blatantly says he's not Iranian.

Barghi's fight canceled due to safety protocols

Agha joon, why should we fool ourselfs ? Take some minutes of your time and do some research and see if he is iranian or not, i did that i can tell you he is not iranian, he wont ever say im iranian and he wont ever lift the iranian flag, even if iran becomes a paradise.

He is assyrian and only cares about that, finito.

You can keep lying to yourselves all you want but he was born in Iran and is of Iranian heritage. He is therefore Iranian whether you like it or not, just like Mollaei, Asemani, Kianzad, Arzani, Irandust, Eskandarian, Firouzja, Alizadeh, etc. Keep crying about it.

Man he only cares about Assyria. Doesn’t give a damn about Iran, regardless of politics. He’s delusional.

We have to start another thread called "Iranians in MMA + Beneil Dariush" where we can be safe lmao.

I just find it funny that you are claiming a guy that comes out in an Assyrian/USA flag and says he would never carry an Iranian flag.

What do you expect when we have IR in charge? As I said before, just because he's not willing to carry the flag of IR doesn't mean he's not Iranian. He is Iranian by blood whether you all choose to accept it or not.

Don't support him, I don't care. But don't go out of your way to make BS claims of him not being Iranian when he in fact is. End of story.

You are such a clown. We aren't supporting him BECAUSE he clearly says he's Assyrian and not Iranian. I don't know how it could be more clear.

I think it's sad you are so desperate to claim someone that clearly doesn't want anything to do with being Iranian.

Lol, and how many other Iranian athletes choose to not affiliate themselves with Iran because of IR? I know why you're not supporting him ya dummy, I've been sounding like a broken record player at this point making it clear that there will be more people just like him, Mollaei, Asemani, Kianzad, Arzani, Irandust, Eskandarian, Firouzja, Alizadeh, etc. as long as IR is in power, and yet they're still Iranian whether you choose to support them or not and regardless of whether they identify as Martians or Iranians.
