Two Southern California lightweights are poised for an entertaining scrap when No. 11 Beneil Dariush takes on Bobby Green at UFC 222 on March 3 in Las Vegas.

Green, 31, is coming off a unanimous-decision victory over Erik Koch in the featured prelim bout Saturday at UFC on Fox 27 in Charlotte, N.C. The Fontana resident and former A.B. Miller High wrestling star, who trains at Icon MMA in Moreno Valley, snapped a four-fight winless streak.

After rattling off eight consecutive wins over three years, Green (24-8-1) suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Edson Barboza, a first-round knockout loss to Dustin Poirier and a split-decision loss to Rashid Magomedov before earning a Fight of the Night split draw (29-27, 27-29, 28-28) against Lando Vanatta in October at UFC 216.

Also on that UFC 216 card was Dariush (14-3-1), who also came away with a draw in his bout with fellow ranked 155-pounder Evan Dunham.

Dariush, 28, nearly finished Dunham in an opening round so dominant that two judges scored it 10-8 in his favor. Dunham’s resurgence in the second and third rounds resulted in those judges giving him 10-9 scores in each round and two 28-28 scores. The third judge scored it 29-28 for Dariush for a majority draw.

Dariush, who lives in Yorba Linda and trains at Kings MMA in Huntington Beach, is winless in his past two fights at 0-1-1 after a 7-1 stretch over the course of two years.

UFC 222 is headlined by featherweight champion Max Holloway (19-3) taking on former lightweight champion and second-ranked 145-pounder Frankie Edgar (21-5-1).
