Quem Usa Moicano?
Back in March, long-time featherweight contender Renato Moicano made his first appearance in the lightweight division, venturing up to the talent-rich 155-pound weight class on the final fight card before the COVID-19 pandemic brought the UFC schedule to a momentary halt.

Точность ударов
Moicano began his UFC tenure with three consecutive victories, capped by a split decision win over divisional stalwart Jeremy Stephens. His first career loss came in the third round of a fight with Brian Ortega at UFC 214, a fight Moicano was winning heading into the final stanza.
Prior to his March debut in the 155-pound weight class, Moicano made eight appearances in the UFC featherweight division, amassing a 5-3 record, though his modest record doesn’t accurately reflect what the aggressive Brazilian accomplished in the 145-pound division.
Moicano made his debut in the UFC against Tom Niinimaki on December 20, 2014, fighting on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 58: Machida vs. Dollaway having compiled a 8-0-1 professional MMA record.
История выступлений
“In my third fight in the UFC, I fought a Top 5 opponent at the time in Jeremy Stephens, and since then, I’ve just fought the best,” said the former featherweight contender. “I really don’t care about people’s opinion about my career. I focus on myself and I think after this fight, people are going to start to recognize me as a contender in the lightweight division.
Following his impressive victory over Hadzovic and combined with his long-time residency in the featherweight Top 10, Moicano was hopeful that he would secure an opportunity against a ranked opponent in his sophomore outing in the lightweight division, but it didn’t come to pass.

And while he certainly would have preferred to face an opponent with a number beside their name, Moicano is more than happy to share the Octagon with a humble, respectful competitor like Fiziev on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
That night, in his hometown of Brasilia, the 31-year-old snapped a two-fight skid with a quick and efficient 44-second submission win over dangerous Bosnian veteran Damir Hadzovic. Surprisingly, when the two were separated and stood up, Moicano complained to Hadzovic about the lack of resistance he faced and how quickly he was able to secure the finish.
And if everything goes as he envisions, it will be one that raises his profile in the crowded lightweight division and returns him to the position he held for the entirety of his featherweight tenure.

While onlookers and observers may have forgotten what he accomplished at featherweight, Moicano remains proud of his achievements and confident that he’ll be able to reach the same heights, if not greater, now that he’s no longer taxing his body to make the 145-pound limit.

“I think I can perform even better at lightweight than I was doing at ’45,” he added. “I know doing this is better for my body. Not cutting that kind of weight, I know I’m very good and I’m going to do well at ’55.”
“I have to put myself back in a position to be a contender and that’s what I’m planning to do with my next fight,” he continued. “All I have to do is go out there, perform well, and ask for a ranked opponent until they cannot deny me. I don’t get frustrated; I just care about what I have to do and that is put on a great show for the fans.”

“I have to start over,” Moicano said of his move to lightweight and needing to work his way up the divisional ladder. “I don’t get frustrated about anything because since the beginning of my career, people — my family, my friends — said to me that I could not be a fighter and it was the same about going to lightweight — ‘You’re a featherweight; you should not go to lightweight’ — but, at the end of the day, it’s my call and I feel like it’s a new beginning for me.
“I think Rafael is a tough fighter; I respect him,” he said of the lightweight from Kyrgyzstan, who collected a unanimous decision win over Marc Diakiese last time out. “I respect him because he’s a good athlete and he’s always humble. I like people who are that way because we are fighters and we have to respect each other.

“I had trained too hard and too long,” Moicano said, reflecting on his reaction as he readies to make his second start in the 155-pound weight class this weekend opposite Rafael Fiziev. “My last fight before that bout was eight months prior, and I was training so hard for that fight.
