Given the reputation that Oliveira has in the world of MMA for his jiu-jitsu work, Dariush has made a bold claim against his future opponent.
The American fighter also stated that it is a humbling experience for him to train in jiu-jitsu. He continued, “They’re so good. It’s really humbling to be honest with you today.

It’s very humbling.”
