Renato Moicano only cares about UFC Fight Night win over Chris Duncan, not $100k bonus money

(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) Renato Moicano returns to the cage this Saturday April 4th against Chris Duncan in the main event of a UFC Fight Night held at the Meta Apex. That’s a big drop in visibility for the Brazilian fighter compared to his last two fights.
At UFC 311 he stepped into the pay-per-view’s main event against Islam Makhachev at the last minute after Arman Tsarukyan injured his back. And then at UFC 317 he was on the main card against Beneil Dariush. Unfortunately for “Money” Moicano, he’d lose both these fights.
Now he’s still a headliner … but headlining the Apex against a relative unknown ATT teammate, Chris Duncan. While his fights haven’t gone well, Moicano’s profile as a streamer has grown over 2025 to the point where people have been questioning whether he spends too much time on it over training. Renato addressed that during media day interviews.
🙅♂️📱 Renato Moicano says he stepped back from social media to focus more on his training camp: “2025, I lost two fights in a row. Since last year I’ve been focusing on fighting. I kinda took time off from social media, I think it was beneficial for my training camp.
