NEW YORK – Renato Moicano was slick in the cage Saturday at Madison Square Garden, but the most memorable moment for him may have taken place on the microphone.
After he quickly submitted City Kickboxing’s Brad Riddell (10-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) with a rear-naked choke at 3:20 of Round 1, Moicano (17-5-1 MMA, 9-5 UFC) cut an all-time promo during his in-cage interview with Joe Rogan.
“Joe Rogan, I don’t know if you know me,” Moicano screamed into the microphone. “I was ranked No. 4 in featherweight. I was the best featherweight on the planet and I lost to my idol, Jose Aldo. I lost to him. It was really bad for my career, but I moved up. I learned from my mistakes. Now, I’m f*cking here to take over. All these motherf*ckers, I’m here to take over. Make no mistake. I lost only to the best. But today, I’m the f*cking best.
