UFC fighter dedicates huge win to victims of Marxist ideologies

UFC fighter Beneil Dariush pulled off an impressive upset at Ultimate Fighting Championship 262 on Saturday night. Dariush, ranked No. 7 in the lightweight category, defeated No. 5 contender Tony Ferguson at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Following Dariush's hard-fought victory over Ferguson via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27), the Iranian-American mixed martial arts fighter had a message for Elon Musk and condemned Marxism.

Following Dariush's win, which was his seventh in a row, the 32-year-old MMA fighter thanked Jesus Christ and dedicated the tremendous victory to victims of Marxist ideologies.

"First things first, I want to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ, that's number one," Dariush told UFC color commentator Joe Rogan in a post-fight interview inside the octagon.

"Number two, I want to dedicate this fight to all the people who've been hurt by Marxist ideologies," Dariush proclaimed. "There are millions of you."

"It's just a fight, I know it's not much, but I want you to know that I love you," the victorious fighter continued. "And I understand the pain...I don't completely understand, but I love you. I understand your pain."

Then, on a lighter note, Dariush jokingly expressed his frustrations with Elon Musk for his electric car company not delivering a Tesla automobile to him after waiting for six months.

"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 said with a smirk. "I'm having a baby. I need a big car; I need to protect my daughter. Let's go, Elon, get me my car."
