UFC fighter Beneil Dariush dedicated a recent victory to those hurt by Marxists and thanked Jesus for his win.
“First things first, I want to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ, that’s No. 1,” Dariush said to UFC commentator Joe Rogan on Saturday. “No. 2, I want to dedicate this fight to all the people who’ve been hurt by Marxist ideologies.”
Dariush, who was raised in Iran until his family migrated to America, went on to say that “there are millions” of people affected by Marxist ideologies and that he loves them and understands their pain.
“It’s just a fight. I know it’s not much, but I want you to know that I love you,” he continued. “And I understand the pain. … I don’t completely understand, but I love you. I understand your pain.”
Dariush, who was unanimously declared the winner after a 15-minute fight, also used his post-fight interview to reach out to tech icon Elon Musk, claiming his wife has not yet received a Tesla she ordered.
“Joe, I want to call out your buddy Elon. Elon Musk! Where is my wife’s car, bro? I have been waiting for six months,” Dariush quipped. “I’m having a baby. I need a big car; I need to protect my daughter. Let’s go, Elon. Get me my car.”

Saturday was instrumental for the rising star, who was ranked 7th in the lightweight division before his victory over 5th-ranked Tony Ferguson.
The win was also Dariush’s seventh in a row and his 15th in the Octagon.
The devout Christian, who frequently shares his faith online, also regularly posts about the charity work he does in other countries.
