Renato Moicano has been making waves in the lightweight division with his back-to-back wins. With a professional MMA record of 19 wins and just 5 defeats, the Brazilian mixed martial artist has won the hearts of many with his superior BJJ skills. But it’s not often that netizens talk about ‘Money’s life outside the Octagon.

The lightweight fighter has a better half and is married to her. Her name is Priscila Van Der Brooke, formerly a model and now a martial arts practitioner. Today, let’s take a deep dive into the love life of Moicano and learn about his significant other. Without any further ado, let’s dive right in.

All we know about Renato Moicano’s wife Priscila Van Der Broocke

It is intriguing to note that just like her husband, Van Der Broocke too is a mixed martial artist. Her love for combat sports ignited after she saw Moicano train for the sport day in and day out. Moreover, she was specifically captivated by the discipline of jiu-jitsu.

According to MMA Fighting News, she stated, ”I started watching him train and enjoyed it,” and added, “He taught amateur MMA classes in a gym in Brasilia, and one day I joined the class and enjoyed it. He thought I had talent, and was impressed with my kicks — I think I had good kicks because I used to play soccer.”

But before she traversed to the lands of mixed martial arts, Van Der Broocke was a well-established model. Standing 5-foot-8, the lightweight’s wife was also an athlete during her early days. But given the choice to select just one out of fighting and modeling, she chose the padded gloves.

Now, let’s shine some light on the duo’s love story. Did you know that they fell in love just because of Facebook? While many avoid social media like a disease, there sure are instances that make people’s hearts flutter.

How did Renato Moicano and Priscila Van Der Broocke meet?

Moicano and Van Der Broocke knew each other from the nascent stages of their life as they were in the same school. However, the tide of time took them apart and they lost touch. But thanks to social networking, the two found each other again and kickstarted their love life. Their relationship became more prolific once they connected online and it only went uphill from them.

While narrating and recalling their love story, according to MMA Fighting, Van Der Broocke stated, “We were friends at school, but he was always moving from school to school, so we kind of lost contact,” she added, ”We were friends at school, but he was always moving from school to school, so we kind of lost contact.” 

Eventually, they got into a relationship and married years after. Since then, they have become a family of 3, with a baby boy who was born in 2020. However, the couple hasn’t revealed any details about their son. It is safe to say that the two complement each other’s lives and are a pillar of support. However, it bears mention that they have also had a great influence over one another. Van Der Brooke even transitioned her career as a model after being exposed to the sport of MMA.

What is Priscila Van Der Broocke’s MMA record?

Van Der Broocke debuted in the MMA cage back in 2017 when she faced Laila Tais. With a few seconds short of the 3-minute mark on the clock, Van Der Broocke knocked Tais out with a punch in the very first round. No doubt, it was a fight that made Moicano proud. However, despite a successful debut, she has not graced the cage ever since but appears to be passionate about the sport. Her MMA record hangs at 1-0.

But the lightweight prospect hasn’t given up hope. He does believe that there would come a day when Van Der Broocke would step into the Octagon as a well-known strawweight. After all, getting a first-round KO win in a debut fight is something only the strongest of fighters can do. Even though she hasn’t graced the MMA cage for about 7 years, Van Der Broocke seldom fails to support her husband. As Moicano gets ready to face Benoit Saint-Denis, he will surely receive the loudest cheer from his wife.

This couple now share a lot in common and it is wholesome to watch. Nevertheless, we are curious to know, with the above revelations in mind, what do you make of this incredible woman? Share with us your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.
