Despite not getting the desired result and taking a beating, Renato Moicano is at peace with accepting his fight against Rafael dos Anjos on just five days’ notice.
Moicano doesn’t regret stepping up to save the UFC 272 co-main event, even after suffering a tough decision loss to the former lightweight champion dos Anjos. It was an uphill battle for Moicano (16-5-1 MMA, 8-5 UFC) from the start as he had just five days to prepare the best he could for his first five-round UFC fight, travel from Brazil to Las Vegas, and cut 20 pounds to make the 160-pound catchweight.
It was a hectic situation but one that Moicano cherished.
