Beneil Dariush discusses what it was like to grow up in a large family and how he got started in MMA. Catch his upcoming fight this Saturday against Michael Johnson in the co-main event of Fight Night Nashville.
He and khabib are like the opposite, khabib is from a Christian country, while he is Muslim and isn’t ethnically Russian and beneil who is from a Muslim country, who is a Christian, while he isn’t ethnically Persian.
@@drpk6514 What are you talking about? How is that ignorant? It's just a fact. Assyrians are Assyrians. My family is from Iraq, but they don't call themselves Iraqi. We're Assyrian Americans. That's just the way it is. Beneil is an Assyrian American whose family came from Iran. What part of that is "ignorant?" I'm just stating facts. I'm not even saying Iranians are bad people or anything like that.
Respect to Beneil. One of the nicest guys in MMA and the guy whom every athlete should emulate. MMA is better for someone like him dedicating his life to the sport.
Assyrians are so inspiring. They brought the world great civilization, then were continually fucked over by everyone else for the rest of history. The Central Asian Khans even tried to exterminate them when they conquered Iraq. Sadly now ISIS is doing the same.
Lautaro Fonz yeah, we have been getting persecuted all over the Middle East for being catholic by these Muslims and Jews. It's really terrible and hard on all of us.
My Father's side of the family is from Iran, Tehran. Ironically his name is Daryush, so it's really cool to see a Persian fighter that can really bang. He's focused and is hungry. Tony has another problem on his plate.
@@jonathansoko1085 Assyrian people are from Northern Iraq, do you know how to read a map? Watch the history Channel and ask your teacher to keep you after class. Then come talk to grown folks after.
@@ragethevictorious3060 Its ironic that you mention history and such. You do know the ASSYRIANS are different people than iranian persians???? LOL man do some history yourself LOL
Johny Zimmerman Same here. I can't believe Johnson is such a big favorite here either. I think Dariush will neutralize him standing and submit him easy.
Johny Zimmerman can't believe RDA lost to Glasion Tibao. Can't believe Johnson lost to Brookins, Sass, and madadi. But that's the game man. Sometimes you lose to opponents who you are better than. Maybe you might not be better then him that day but in the end you rise to be better.
Donald McGregor I don't, Jury is a monster. That kid is the future. He is really well rounded. I don't like that he's going to 145. I think the cut will be too much which will hinder his performance.
Its so fascinating to see people are arguing for this Iranian/Assyrian. Iran consist of many ethnicities and groups with different languages but they all grow up with one uniform certificate/passport and speak one uniform language at schools or work.. Now if some think he isn't Iranian its ok! hey free world he can claim he is European nobody stops him or you. its like being an American but because some of your roots came from Ireland/Africa insist to call yourself Irish or African.
@@romarioslewa9598 Yes but Iran consists of many ethnicities Iranian is a general term to describe those living in the area , Persian, Kurdish, Turk, arab and even assyria are all considered iranians in iran
why do all the comments think he's representing Iran? he's not, he's representing the assryian people. he's in the US because there's less persecution of christian ethnic groups than in Iran
Brandon Jetter Thats why they spent more than half the video talking about iran and his upbrining and connections to iran... You are right about the persecution part though
SWIFTzTrigger yeah but that was just about his upbringing, they weren't saying he represents Iran. Saying that he represents Iran as an Assyrian is like saying a Palestinian born in East Jerusalem represents Israel
@@persianguy1524 And your country is a shthole because of your violent backward religion which invaded and killed your ancestors in 7th century. Hahaha Assyrians have countries from Turkey, Iran, Iraq because Assyria span all over these countries. At least they are prominent ancient kingdom, even the glorious Persia can't compete with the glory of the Assyria. And they have the truth: Christianity. Not the desert version of it which you call Islam. Eww.
Cool video! Iranians are generally a very compassionate, and kind people. Iranians are a bit ignorant and not as progressive as Americans or Canadians, but they're good people. Iranians in the US and other countries are good members of society.
Alexander Zamani Irans government dont bodder any other Countries,not like USA UK ISRAEL and so on,dont believe all the media crap on the tel-lie-vision
@@irishbrother5303 Don't bother other countries?? lol That's why your country keep attacking Israel, Saudi, Bahrain and supplying weapons to Hamas and other terror groups.
