"Elon, where's my wife's car, bro?" Dariush
said in his post-fight interview on Saturday.
"I've been waiting six months. I'm having a baby, I need a good
car, I've got to protect my daughter. Let's go, Elon. Get me my
car."
Musk apologised to the fighter on Twitter and sent a loan Tesla
out to him until his new vehicle is delivered.
Dariush's manager Ali Abdelaziz posted a picture of the
32-year-old fighter on Twitter with the loaned car.
Dariush said he woke up on Sunday to messages from several Tesla
dealerships around his home in Southern California asking him to
return their calls, ESPN reported.
"I'm like, 'I think I'm getting scammed,'" Dariush told ESPN. "I
didn't overthink it. I just ignored it. Then, I hear about how
Elon replied to my callout. I said, 'Oh my gosh, these people
might be real.'
"We called them back and they said to just come in and they'd
get it all fixed up. I was like, 'That's it? Just come in? I've
been calling you guys for months.'"
