Team analysis

Benil Dariush

Benil Dariush is an experienced fighter who has built up a rich career in the sport and is respected among his colleagues. However, its recent statistics are not encouraging. At 36 years old, he has lost three of his last four fights, all by knockout. With his birthday right around the corner, it would be a great gift for him to get a win over an opponent who has yet to know defeat in the UFC. The bookmakers don't trust the veteran to pull it off, placing him as a huge underdog. However, it is important to note that their losses have been against high-caliber opponents: Benoit Saint-Denis, Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan.

Killian Salkill

Killian Salkill made his UFC debut in February 2025, where he scored a technical knockout victory over Juboli. Since then, the former EMMA champion has contested three more matches, winning them all and cementing his status as an up-and-coming fighter. Now, at 26 years old, he faces a veteran of the promotion, and if he can beat him convincingly, Salkill will likely face ranked fighters and get closer to a title shot. Killian is a versatile fighter, but his main focus is medium and close range standup work. He has won his last three fights thanks to his powerful offensive style, and he will not deviate from his tactics on May 2.
