Less than a month after his big win at UFC 271, Renato Moicano has agreed to step in for a big opportunity.
With Rafael Fiziev forced to withdraw from Saturday’s co-main event after a positive COVID-19 test, Moicano and Rafael dos Anjos Moicano have agreed to fight each other Saturday at UFC 272 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
MMA Junkie confirmed that verbal agreements are in place after an initial tweet by Moicano’s manager, Oren Hodak, who told MMA Junkie the five-round bout will take place at a 160-pound catchweight, as first reported by MMA Fighting. Moicano is currently in Brazil and will have to fly to the United States.
