UFC 311 Islam Makhachev vs. Renato Moicano - Full Card, Stream, Start Time, & Odds

Moicano Steps Up To Challenge Makhachev In Los Angeles

Sometimes, in MMA, the phrase "subject to change" is the literal truth, which was the case here.

Tsarukyan informed the UFC early Friday morning he'd been suffering from back pain while undergoing his final weight cut. According to UFC CEO Dana White and the promotion's medical staff, Tsarukyan was deemed unfit to fight and was removed from the title bout altogether.

Beneil Dariush Reacts to Losing Out on Renato Moicano Fight at UFC 311

White received no hesitation from the 35-year-old Moicano, who is riding a four-fight winning streak and had initially been scheduled to fight Beneil Dariush earlier on the main card.

“When we spoke to him this morning, I can tell you [Moicano] wants this fight,” White said. “And when I called Islam, Islam said, “Brother, I am the champion. I don’t care who it is. I will fight anyone.”

Dariush, unfortunately, was the odd man out and won't compete on the card after all. White said he would "take care" of Dariush, who later relayed the same message in an Instagram post shortly thereafter.

"I believe God has something better for me and I will wait faithfully to see how it unfolds," a portion of his post read.

While UFC 311 proceeds with 13 fights, Dariush is attempting to make the best of the situation given his would-be fight is in his hometown.
