Brazilian Lightweight Contender Plans On Getting His Hand Raised In A Near-silent Accor Arena By Defeating French Star Benoît Saint Denis In Paris
Renato Moicano is on a tear, and he’s not prepared to let a fight behind enemy lines derail his momentum.
Brazil’s Moicano is ranked 11th in the official UFC lightweight rankings, and has the task of defending his spot against the man listed one spot below him, France’s Benoit Saint Denis, this weekend at UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Saint Denis.
The higher-ranked fighter may be the first name on the poster, but he’s fighting in his opponent’s backyard, and he plans on silencing the raucous French crowd on Saturday night by extending his current win streak to four with victory in Paris.
