Renato Moicano ranked 13th in the lightweight division of UFC is already making the headlines. The newcomers are always full of energy and hope to overthrow the legends and achieve glory. No other fighter is as much in demand as Conor McGregor. His name is on the lips of every fighter who wants to make a name for themselves and wants a good payday. Perhaps this is why Moicano, in his recent viral post-match interview, challenged ‘The Notorious’.

UFC’s Lightweight division has always been one of the most exciting. It is brimming with upcoming stars and well-established legends of the promotion. As they say, there can only be 1 lion in the jungle. Moicano, with his latest performances, has unleashed a war cry warning all the top seeds in the division that he is coming for them.

Moicano is currently 17-5 in his UFC career, having started at UFC Fight Night back in 2014. He has impressed all by winning 4 out of 6 of his last fights. His go-to submission move is the rear naked choke, which has earned him 6 victories in the UFC so far.

Moicano slams Conor McGregor on Twitter in a bid to lure him out

Moicano is not one to shy away from the spotlight, he is as much of a performer as he is a fighter. Proving it time and again. Perhaps this is what has garnered a fan-base quite early in his career. Furthermore, like each fighter, he wants ‘Red panty night’ before the title shot. So he’s leaving no chance to call out ‘Mystic Mac’.

Recently, Moicano insulted McGregor on Twitter to get his attention. Perhaps to get a response and build up a potential match-up. However, it seems highly unlikely that if and when McGregor decides to come back, he will face him. It seems most likely that the Irishman will fight in the Welterweight or Lightweight division.

He disrespected McGregor by claiming that he was finished now and that it was Renato’s time now. After his recent impressive win over Brad Riddell, the Brazilian went 1 spot ahead of the inactive Irishmen at 13th rank.

While the Irishman is still recovering from his unfortunate loss and leg break, a lot of challenges have been thrown at him. His pride hit and ego beaten, do you see ‘The Notorious’ returning to his best on his return?
