However, many fans reacted to Moicano’s interview after the fight.

Renato Moicano delivers an outrageous post-fight interview

The moment for most of the fans was the Renato Moicano post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.

He had an outstanding night, submitting Brad Riddell. Not only that, but also he did it inside 1st round, in just 3 mins and 20 secs after the match started.

What happened next, made the crowd shout their lungs out. He stole the mic from Joe Rogan, who approached him for his post-fight interview. Then went on to give one of the most memorable and full-of-energy post-fight interviews in the UFC.

He wasn’t pulling any punches when he said, “Let’s go, New York. Make some f*cking noise. Renato, I have to be on the f*cking rankings, man. This is disrespect. I took a fight, a five-round fight on five days’ notice. Five days’ notice. I was f*cking drinking beer and eating steaks in Brazil. They called me and I came here. I traveled 24 hours and motherf*cking disrespected me. I want the f*cking bonus. Moicano wants money.

Fans go wild hearing Renato Moicano’s war cry

Fans loved the post-fight interview and Moicano’s enthusiasm. He received a great response and cheer from the crowd as well as love and support on social media, where he went viral.

One fan wrote, “Talented kid, maybe he is able to put it all together and makes a late career surge like Da Bronx.”

The other hilariously pointed out, “I don’t ever want to see another interview of him where he doesn’t speak about himself in 3rd person LOL.”

A fan questioned his sobriety, “Legit thought he was drunk 😅 those first couple nights in New York.”

A fan perhaps revealed too much, “I was pis*ing myself laughing with him. Instantly a big fan.

Further, the fighter also received many praises. “Always thought he was a decent fighter but didn’t know much about his personality but that was great that.”

A fan lauded his interview, “The best post fight interview for UFC 281, 2022 funniest post fight of the year Hands down. Leon had the most.”
