Renato Moicano open to Max Holloway fight for ‘BMF’ title

[Wild]

In a perfect world, Renato Moicano would beat Beneil Dariush at UFC 311 in January and then move onto face the winner of the main event that same night when Islam Makhachev defends his lightweight title against Arman Tsarukyan.

But the 35-year-old Brazilian admits staying busy is ultimately what matters most, and he understands that the UFC may have other plans in store for the winner of the 155-pound title fight. That’s why Moicano is keeping his options open and a suggestion about potentially facing Max Holloway in his return to the lightweight division immediately piqued his interest.

“I would love to do that, especially Max Holloway now says he’s done at 145,” Moicano told MMA Fighting when asked about that potential fight. “If he really wants to be a 155’er, I think that would be an awesome fight, especially because that’s going to put me on [track for a title shot].

“100 percent if you beat Max Holloway, you’re fighting for the title. It’s a fight that I would be willing to take 100 percent.”

Nobody knows who the fuck this guy is. He upset st denis and I still can't remember his name.

Very disappointed we never got the Moicano vs Pimblett fight both fighters were calling for. The build up would be so entertaining and it's also a great fight! I love Chandler vs Pimblett too though but UFC really missed a great opportunity with Moicano and Pimblett.

i like moicano . he is a good fighter and he has charisma. the problem is he is not a real known name . the BMF title is a gimmick to sell casuals PPVs. if the casuals dont even know who you are this doesn't work . moicano needs to get a few more wins over known guys and then he can talk about fighting max
