Renato Moicano calls Jose Aldo fight ‘a dream come true,’ reminisces about watching him in WEC

One half of UFC Fortaleza’s co-main event, Renato Moicano is ecstatic to share the Octagon with former featherweight champion Jose Aldo, one of his idols. In an interview with Combate, the 29-year-old contender reminisced about how he used to watch Jose Aldo perform back in the WEC days.

Furthermore, Moicano especially remembers Aldo’s fight against Mike Brown, who is now one of Renato’s coaches at American Top Team.

“I remember (Aldo’s WEC fights) very well,” Moicano said. “That was before I started competing professionally, when I was an amateur. I trained and watched WEC. It’s funny that today I have the opportunity to train with Mike Brown, because I watched his fight with Aldo.
