Benoit Saint Denis plans on reestablishing himself as a UFC lightweight contender with a statement against Renato Moicano.
Saint Denis (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) faces Moicano (19-5-1 MMA, 11-5 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 243 (ESPN+) main event at Accor Arena in Paris. Saint Denis saw his five-fight winning streak snapped by Dustin Poirier at UFC 299 in March. The “God of War” plans on picking up right where he left off against Moicano.
“Everything is open. Everything is to take,” Saint Denis told reporters at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 243 media day (h/t La Sueur). “I’m here to take everything I can. First off, I need to put on a huge performance against Moicano. He’s a tough fight. I’m expecting a tough fight, and it’s going to be a war. Expect me to do my best to climb the division.”
