Beneil Dariush says he's one win over Charles Oliveira away from finally earning a title show, telling us the UFC told him he'd be the number 1 contender with a W.
We asked Dariush if being so close to a title shot provided extra motivation ... and his answer may surprise you.
"To be honest with you, when it comes to motivation, I don't lack any. It's hard to add on to the motivation that I have right now," Beneil told us, adding,"My biggest motivation is knowing that God has given me a gift, and I'm not gonna waste it. I'm not gonna squander it." There's much more with Dariush ... we talked to him about the stylistic matchup, pitting two Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts against each other, and whether BD believes the fight will stay on the feet, or go to the ground.We also talked to Oliveira ... who is looking to earn another title shot himself.Islam MakhachevNow, Oliveira is ready to make another run at the title ..."I feel good, I feel happy, I'm ready, and focused on getting the win," Charles told us.
As for a title shot ... CO says he hasn't explicitly been told he'd be next with a win, but he believes it's pretty clearly what should happen. "Nobody told me, I don't know about Ben, but I think that will happen. I think we both deserve it, whoever wins this Saturday should get a title shot."

UFC betting, odds: How to bet Amir Albazi-Kai Kara-France main eventThe UFC returns to action after its holiday break with another Fight Night in the friendly confines of the Apex's smaller cage. Flyweight contenders Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi headline Saturday night's card as both fighters look to push toward a title shot. It's been close to a full calendar year since the third-ranked Kara-France dropped his last fight to current champion Brandon Moreno in July. The two battled for the interim flyweight strap in the co-main event at UFC 277, and despite Kara-France coming up short, he showed well, hurting Moreno early in the bout. I remember vividly because I was on Moreno pretty heavy, and even though I ended up a winner, it was at the expense of a pretty good sweat.
