‘I could’ve done more’ - Renato Moicano not satisfied with first round at UFC 271

Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt Renato Moicano scored another signature submission win in his performance at UFC 271. But despite his resounding success, it doesn’t sound like he’s entirely pleased with his performance.

After a closer first round against Alexander Hernandez – during which the Brazilian gained dominant position, but couldn’t get the finish – the 32-year-old snapped up the rear naked choke in the second.

During the event’s post-fight press conference, Moicano told Combate that, despite his eventual victory, he was not happy with his first round. In his opinion, he was unable to show his best self at UFC 271, which is why his performance still bothers him even after having snagged the win.
