UFC featherweight contender Renato Moicano has decided to test the waters at lightweight.
Moicano is coming off a first-round TKO defeat to Chan Sung Jung at UFC Greenville earlier in the summer. That setback marked the Brazilian’s second defeat in a row as well as his third in his last five outings.
Although he is used to cutting weight to reach the featherweight limit, Moicano was advised to make the move up following his loss to Jung. And he has decided to go along with it:
“Some coaches have been asking me to do this test at lightweight,” Moicano told MMA Fighting. “I was apprehensive at first, but Mike Brown has asked me many times since I moved to ATT. We’re used to cutting a lot of weight in Brazil, and that was never a problem for me, but I’ve suffered a lot in my last three fights.
“After my last loss, Mike Brown texted me saying ‘I think it’s time for you to move up. You have to at least make a test. If you don’t like it, fine, you can go back (to 145),’ and that’s what I’m going to do.”
Moicano’s ideal plans?
Facing veteran Clay Guida when the UFC returns to Brasilia on March 14. But even if it’s not Guida, Moicano wants the big-name opponents:
“I’m a huge fan of his [Guida] and since he has fought many times in Brazil before, I don’t think that would be a problem for him,” Moicano added. “He’s a veteran and a popular fighter, so that would be good to maybe make it the main or co-main event in Brasilia.
“He always puts on great fights. I’ve always looked out for big-name opponents since my debut and I plan on doing the same at 155: aim for big fights, good opponents.”
Do you think Moicano will find success at lightweight?

Rising UFC featherweight prospect Renato Moicano was absolutely shut down by “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung at UFC Greenville this past weekend (Sat. June 22, 2019).
The first-round knockout loss resulted in the Brazilian’s second-straight loss via finish. Shortly after the defeat, Combate caught up with Moicano’s coach, Gabriel de Oliveira, to get his thoughts on the performance. Oliveira called his fighter’s performance a bit “predictable,” leading to the KO:
“There is no analysis. There was no fight,” Oliveira said. “We are still flabbergasted, because that was one of the best camps Renato had. What happened is inexplicable. Maybe there was no technical mistake – because his technique is very refined – but he was predictable in there.
“He didn’t perform like he should. Maybe he was trying to take his time, but he was to aloof and his jab was studied, for sure. The guy learned the timing of his jab threw an overhand over it. You need to go in there turned up to 11.
“You need to be focused. We will have to go back to the drawing board, let Renato go a while without training, just rest. Then we’ll reassess some aspects of our training routines.”
Oliveira divulged that Moicano had a great camp and recovered from his weight-cut well. The 30-year-old simply couldn’t pull the trigger, which came as a bit of a surprise considering how confident the Moicano camp was heading into the fight:
“He was okay, he was normal. He recovered well from the weight cut, he was relaxed as usual. I can’t explain what happened. We expected a long fight, five rounds. We expected back-and-forth action, but unfortunately he was unable to land a single punch. We were surprised by a strike we knew he would throw.
“We worked on that, we knew he would time the jab and throw the overhand. But I don’t know, I don’t know what happened in the fight. He [Renato] didn’t go. I don’t know if he was distracted. It’s hard for us to swallow that, honestly. We weighed all the pros and cons in that fight and we had everything in our favor.
“When the fight started, we just couldn’t bring those to work in our advantage.”
