New lightweight contender Renato Moicano has apologised for his bizarre behaviour at UFC Brasilia after submitting Damir Hadzovic inside one minute.

Brazilian Moicano fought in front of no crowd at Ginasio Nilson Nelson on Saturday night. After submitting his opponent Hadzovic in just 44 seconds, Moicano angrily stood up and confronted Hadzovic, confusing everyone watching at home.

Speaking post-fight, Moicano explained he was annoyed at the fight finishing so quickly and the fact no fans got to see his performance, he explained.

“No, I did wrong because I’m coming from two losses from tough guys, and I want to fight hard. I want to fight the best guys, and in the first takedown, I put him on the ground and submit him, I want more fight. I want to fight, I want to fight, but I did wrong. I’m sorry, Hadzovic. I’m wrong.

“You know it was very strange to enter in the cage and don’t see the crowd, especially the people from my city. I was looking forward to seeing the people cheer for me, but there is no problem. We have to fight in all circumstances, and I did good. I think I did good like a rear-naked choke in the first round against a tough guy. It was good for me.”

As well as saying sorry Moicano also took his chance to call out Paul Felder during his post-fight interview with middleweight legend Michael Bisping. ‘The Irish Dragon’ is coming off a loss and seemed like another move out of left-field. According to Moicano, the call-out is simply due to their respective rankings.

“I don’t know, because (it) just pop in my head. He’s the No. 7 (at 155), and I’m the No. 7 (at 145), and right now I’m fighting in the lightweight (division), so why not see who is the best? The lightweight or the featherweight?” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)

Lightweight
contender Paul Felder has said he’ll continue competing in MMA but only if he’s
offered big fights.

‘The Irish Dragon’ shocked fight fans when he appeared to announce his retirement in the cage post-fight at UFC Auckland. Felder had just suffered a highly debated split decision loss to local fighter Dan Hooker.

The 35-year-old admits to getting a little too emotional after the fight and assured fights fans as long as the right opponents are offered to him he’ll be back fighting in the near future. Speaking on The Ariel Helwani MMA Show, he said.

“I
think at this point it’s safe to say I’m only coming back for things that
really entice me man. Things that make me train the way I did for this fight –
five rounds fights, big huge fights with somebody who excites me. Other than that,
I’ll just do commentary and wait for that match-up.”

Helwani
the proceeds to ask Felder if he truly believes fight fans have seen the last
of him inside the octagon. To which he empathically responded no and proceeded
to map out future opponents and potential card positions.

No. Obviously if something was to happen with one of these guys in the top five and they can’t get matched up the way the UFC wants them to match up. There has been some talk of Al Iaquinta wanting to fight me. You give me a five rounder with him and a big fight night or a rematch with Hooker, which will never happen but obviously that is one I’d take to get it back. Any of the top five, Al Iaquinta is a fun fight just because that fight was supposed to happen three different times and it never quite did and he has mentioned he wants it.  It would have to be a main event somewhere to make me even want to do that fight. I’m not coming back for the last fight on the prelims or even like the second fight of a pay-per-view.”
