Islam Makhachev is ready to really get after ‘predictable’ Renato Moicano in their UFC 311 main event this evening.
Tonight, Islam Makhachev will defend his UFC lightweight championship against Renato Moicano. The expectation is that he’ll be able to tear through the Brazilian contender who, just 36 hours ago, was expecting to fight someone entirely different – Beneil Dariush.
Still, mixed martial arts is an unpredictable game, and Islam Makhachev can’t afford to get complacent. Ahead of the walk to the cage, the champion spoke candidly about this new challenge and what he expects from Moicano.
