Beneil Dariush vs. Ramsey Nijem

Round 1
Dariush establishes himself in the center of the cage early and tags Nijem with some pretty, straight punches. Nijem catches a body kick and trips Dariush to the ground, then stands over him for a few moments before allowing him to stand. Dariush sticks a punch and dives for a takedown, but he winds up pressing Nijem against the cage, throwing short punches in the tie-up. Nijem circles out and now Dariush is grinning, walking forward at a measured pace. Nijem is starting to find his mark, picking at Dariush with quick, hard punches of his own. Dariush tries a leaping knee and gets tagged with a left-right combo, then put down with a couple more shots. Heavy fire from Nijem now, trying to pound out his grounded opponent. Dariush is clinging to life and Nijem’s leg, not offering anything in return and barely hanging on as referee Neil Hall observes from nearby. Nijem tries a guillotine, can’t get the angle, gives it up and goes back to bashing away with punches. A brief mount for Nijem is followed by more massive punches. Dariush is busted open, and now referee Hall has seen enough, and it’s a decisive stoppage win for Nijem.

The Official Result
Ramsey Nijem def. Beneil Dariush via TKO (Punches) R1 4:20
