Beneil Dariush and Diego Ferriera displayed a little bit of everything when they fought Saturday at UFC Fight Night 184 . Multifaceted elements of mixed martial arts were on full display for three rounds before Dariush (20-4-1 MMA, 14-4-1 UFC) was declared the victor by split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28) in the lightweight main-card opener at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The first round started off a grappling affair but quickly turned into a slugfest.

Despite the adversity, Ferreira survived to land some big shots in the final minute of Round 1.
