Off the back of his impressive TKO win over French contender, Benoit Saint-Denis, surging favorite, Renato Moicano has called for a title-eliminator with former interim champion, Justin Gaethje next — vowing to knock out the Arizona favorite if they share the Octagon together.
Moicano, who remained at number eleven in the official lightweight rankings off the back of his doctor’s stoppage TKO win over Nimes native, Saint-Denis at UFC Fight Night Paris last month, turned in his fourth consecutive win at 155lbs — landing his third finish in his four most recent fights.
Adding Saint-Denis to a slew of recent wins over Jalin Turner, Drew Dober, and Brad Riddell, Moicano initially called for a high-stakes pairing with promotional-perfect contender, Paddy Pimblett following his win in France, however, has now staked his claim for a pivotal pairing with former interim lightweight kingpin, Gaethje.
