Renato Moicano: nothing to lose

Does anyone else feel like this weekend is shaping up like a movie – and is all of a sudden the star?

Not so long ago (and by that we mean 36 hours ago), Renato Moicano was just another fighter on the UFC 311 card. Sure, he’s one of the most entertaining, but his bout with Beneil Dariush was merely going to give us an idea of where he’s at in the lightweight division. Now, however, we have a pretty good idea of where he’s at – because he’s the new number one contender for the UFC lightweight championship.
