(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Charles Oliveira after UFC 289 win?)

Beneil Dariush’s stellar run in the lightweight division was brought to an end by Charles Oliveira in Saturday’s UFC 289 co-main event.

After putting together an eight-fight wining streak, Dariush (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) ran into the absolute buzzsaw in Oliveira and came out on the wrong end of a first-round TKO at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, derailing his hopes for a 155-pound title shot in the near future.
