Renato Moicano admits at UFC Vegas 115 there's something more important than money
Renato Moicano still loves money –but needs something else more.
LAS VEGAS – Renato Moicano is unfazed having to fight a teammate Saturday in the UFC Fight Night 272 headliner. Saturday at Meta APEX, Moicano (20-7-1 MMA,12-7 UFC) fights fellow American Top Teamer Chris Duncan in a five-round lightweight fight. The two have trained together over the years and even shared the sauna a few times during the build to this fight.
"Not really because that was such a long time ago," Moicano told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday when asked about whether past training will impact the fight. "I have not really trained with him for a long time. I watch his fights in the UFC.
He got way better in the grappling. So I'm not disrespecting him at all. I'm not thinking this is going to be easy.
It's UFC. Every fight is a challenge. I think Chris Duncan is a challenge.
