Tattoos are not a new thing in the realm of MMA. There’s hardly any fighter in the UFC who is not inked yet. Tattoos differentiate the fighters and give them a unique countenance. Nonetheless, Renato Moicano has tons of tattoos on his body with unique meanings.
The most intimidating tattoo that the lightweight star has is the “Sagrada Familia” tattoo on his chest. The ink can be linked to the marvelous Sagrada Familia gothic church that is still in progress after 100s of years. However, the original meaning of the term “Sagrada Familia” is “The Holy Family.”
In addition to his chest tattoo, Moicano has a “Heart and Thrones” tattoo on his right lower biceps. The fighter never really enunciates what it means but according to sources, the tattoo has a separate meaning that signifies the sacrifices made by “Lord Jesus” for humanity. The tattoo symbolizes faith, devotion, and a reminder of the unconditional love of the king of the kings.

Moicano has another tattoo resembling the strength of Christianity on his right shoulder. It is a “Knight with his sword”. Last but not least, the Brazilian has a tribal tattoo on his left arm resembling his rich culture and heritage. Moicano has several tattoos relating to his faith in Christianity and this faith is what keeps him going against his opponents.
Interestingly, Moicano has a better response to everyone who is doubting him against Jalin Turner.

Moicano hits back at people choosing Turner above him
Renato Moicano has an impressive record in his MMA career but Jalin Turner is no joke. With a strong record of 14 victories and 7 losses, “The Tarantula’ has a record of winning most of his fights either by knockout or submission. Looking at these stats, Israel Adesanya and Dan Hooker have chosen Turner to finish Moicano but according to the Brazilian, the picture is just getting started.
“Dan Hooker, you got lucky my brother, because that was supposed to be you on Brazil and I have been calling you out for a long time and you didn’t answer. But guess what, after Jalin Turner, I’m not gonna have time for you so keep doing your f****** YouTube channel with Adesanya and f*** you both my brother,” said Moicano in an interview with Show Me The Money podcast.
