INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Although Renato Moicano likes and respects his UFC 311 opponent Beneil Dariush, he plans on beating him up badly.
The UFC lightweight contender made it clear that he plans on stopping Dariush (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6 UFC) this Saturday when the two meet on the main card of the UFC’s first pay-per-view of 2025. Moicano (20-5-1 MMA, 12-5 UFC), who’s older than Dariush by a few days, wants to teach the “old man” a lesson.
“Saturday night, I will beat the sh*t out of Beneil Dariush,” Moicano told reporters at the UFC 311 media day. “It is what it is. I don’t know why people are calling him old because if they call him old, they’re calling me old, because I’m older than him. So don’t call him old. That being said, Saturday I’m going to beat the sh*t out of the old man. Don’t be mad at me. I’m just trying to be funny.”
