Model Priscila Van Der Broocke hopes to follow husband Renato Moicano’s success in MMA

Renato Moicano returns to action versus Calvin Kattar at UFC 223 in Brooklyn on April 7, and he’s not the only talented fighter in the family anymore.

As Moicano prepares to bounce back from a tough defeat to 145-pound contender Brian Ortega, his first-ever loss in mixed martial arts, the Brazilian featherweight predicts that his wife Priscila Van Der Broocke will soon join him in the Octagon.

Priscila Van Der Broocke, 28, made her MMA debut in December, finishing Laila Oliveira via first-round knockout in Bahia, Brazil. Van Der Broocke is still in the early stages of her MMA career, but Moicano is confident that she will become a force in the strawweight division in the future.
