UFC 322 weigh-ins results: Beneil Dariush misses weight for second time

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) just wrapped its early (and official) weigh ins for the upcoming UFC 322 pay-per-view event, which goes down tomorrow night (Sat., Nov. 15, 2025) from inside Madison

Square Garden in New York City, New York.

Of the 24 athletes who took the scale this morning, only one missed weight: longtime Lightweight contender Beneil Dariush. Dariush has been signed with the promotion for over a decade and competed 24 times previously at 155-pounds, only missing the mark once back August 2020 opposite Scott Holtzmann. Ahead of his highly-anticipated main card clash versus Benoit Saint Denis, Dariush tipped the scales at 157.2 pounds.

Dariush vs. Saint Denis will continue on as a catchweight bout, but Dariush will pay 20% of his purse to “BSD” as punishment for the weight miss.

This is an unfortunate turn of events for Dariush, who is still rebuilding his position after a dreadful 2023. Missing weight will not help him gain momentum in the crowded Lightweight ranks, and one has to wonder if he enters this bout with some sort of injury or illness given his generally consistent history of making the Lightweight limit.

Likely, we’ll find out tomorrow.
