Renato Moicano Explains The Shift In Priorities That Prompted A Change In Approach, Leading To A New Level Of Notoriety And Appreciation
For the first 10 years of his professional career, Renato Moicano stepped into the cage with the ambition of becoming the best fighter in the world; to chase UFC gold and to prove to himself that he was worthy of such a title, literally and figuratively.
Four years ago, his priorities changed.
“I keep telling people that the belt is always a goal, but it’s not my biggest goal,” said the affable Brazilian lightweight, who makes his second start of the year on Saturday night at UFC 300, facing off with Jalin Turner in a clash of Top 15 fighters positioned on the early prelims of the jam-packed card.
