Surging Brazilian contender, Renato Moicano is slated for his return to action at UFC 311 next month — booking a lightweight clash with veteran contender, Beneil Dariush on January 18. from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California.
Hoping to crack the single-digit rankings next month in the ‘City of Angels’, lightweight contender, Moicano most recently landed the number ten rank in the division — extending his winning run to four straight fights with a second round doctor’s stoppage TKO win at UFC Paris back in September against Benoit Saint Denis.
As for Dariush, the perennial lightweight challenger has been sidelined since December of last year, retaining the number nine rank in the division following back-to-back first round knockout losses to both Arman Tsarukyan, and former champion, Charles Oliveira.
