Beneil Dariush introduces Victoria Vu Dariush and speaks about the importance of family
As mentioned, there's nothing more important than family for Beneil Dariush, and the UFC lightweight contender doesn't hold on to things that don't help him grow as a husband and father.
In a recent interview with Shamiran Media at the 88th Assyrian Convention, Dariush introduced Victoria Vu Dariush and spoke about his outlook on family. He said:
"We're very happy to be here, my wife and I, and my daughter as well. We have to recognize that family is number one. If we recognize family is number one and we focus on family and [if] we do the things that our parents didn’t do, we will be able to grow as a nation but most importantly as a family.”
When Victoria Vu Dariush was asked if she was also keen on martial arts and fighting, she hilariously replied:
"I don't know about that. I just fight Benny here. Otherwise, I'm retired... I'm winning, always."
