Renato Moicano is targeting a ranked opponent next.
Moicano returned to the win column with an impressive and dominant victory over Jai Herbert at UFC Vegas 30 last night. Dominating the Briton on the ground, Moicano eventually sunk in the rear naked choke in the second round to get the tap and he was pleased to say the least.
“I felt like I had to go out strong and get a submission or a finish,” he said afterward (via MMA Junkie). “That was what I trained to do and that’s what I did, fortunately. … I was just so happy he tapped.
“I don’t even know how to explain it, what it’s like to win a fight. To me, it’s the best feeling in the world and I’m going to be feeling like this one week from now. I’m really happy.”
Now 2-1 at lightweight, the former featherweight contender wants to break into the top 15 at 155 pounds. He has two specific names in mind as well.
“My next fight will be against a top 15 (opponent), for sure,” Moicano added. “I keep asking the UFC for the best. I want the best names they can give me, and that’s what I’m looking for – guys like Islam Makhachev, (Gregor) Gillespie, all those guys.
“The best wrestler, the best striker – it’s even better for me. I want to fight the best.”
Whether he gets those names remains to be seen, but Moicano is definitely a fighter to be reckoned with at lightweight.

Islam Makhachev is going to get the spotlight his fans have been calling for after all.
The previously announced co-main event will now headline the UFC On ESPN 26 card after Max Holloway was forced out of his bout against Yair Rodriguez. The fight between Makhachev and Thiago Moises is believed to be made a full five-round main event.
Makhachev will enter the content seeded 9th in the official UFC rankings. He has won seven bouts in a row, most recently submitting Drew Dober on the pay-per-view portion of the stacked UFC 259 card. A training partner of former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, many believe Makhachev to be a future world champion who should already be in the title picture. He has called out a number of top-10 opponents, but was instead given this fight against Moises.
The Brazilian lightweight is currently ranked 14th in the standings, but was unranked when the match was first put together. However, Moises will enter the bout on a hot streak of his own, picking up consecutive upset victories against Michael Johnson, Bobby Green and Alexander Hernandez. If he is ablt to play spoiler once more, he will immediately see himself placed into the lightweight title picture.
Despite the title implications involved in the fight, it’s still a significant step down in terms of name status compared to Holloway vs Rodriguez. The card for UFC On ESPN 26 looks a little thin throughout, though it will feature the return of Miesha Tate, as she’ll take on Marion Reneau in her first fight since retiring in 2016. It will be interesting to see what kinds of viewership numbers the event pulls in, and what that will mean in terms of how the UFC views Makhachev going forward.
