Moicano at peace with UFC rankings removal after 155 move, expects hard fight against Fiziev

Former UFC featherweight contender Renato Moicano just wants to win fights at lightweight. After the weight cutting process became too difficult and the Brazilian was forced to move up to the heavier division, he was bothered by being shoved out of the rankings at 155, but not anymore.

Now paired up against vicious striker Rafael Fiziev for an intriguing battle of styles at UFC 256, Moicano tells Super Lutas he no longer cares about being ranked. Instead, Renato only wants to have his hand raised at the end of the fight and believes everything else will fall into place from there on out.
