Beneil Dariush earned a name for himself in the UFC after he defeated Tony Ferguson at UFC 262. His win shook everyone, and Dariush took the division by surprise. At that time, Ferguson was the fifth-ranked fighter in the Lightweight Division, and defeating him made ‘Benny’ a known figure.

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.

‘Where is my wife’s car, bro’? – Beneil Dariush

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).
