After Rafael Dos Anjos criticized Renato Moicano's coaches for not interrupting the fight, the former featherweight (up to 65,7kg) did not agree with the former lightweight champion's complaints. In an interview with 'TMZ Sports', the fighter from Brasilia said that he would not like the interruption of the fight and thanked referee Marc Goddard for letting the fight continue until the end.

“I'm very grateful that the referee didn't stop the fight because otherwise I wouldn't have known what I was made of. I always try to move forward, I always try to fight back, and for me, the referee did his job, it was a great job,” said Moicano.
Substituto de última hora de Rafael Fiziev, Moicano agradeceu pela oportunidade e afirmou que faria tudo novamente, se fosse possível.
“Yes, of course, I don’t regret it. I knew I wasn't 100% for the fight because I was coming off a good training camp against (Alexander) Hernandez, but it went for three rounds and I submitted the guy. I flew straight to Brazil and was enjoying my vacation. You know, drink some beers, eat some steaks. But, the opportunity comes, and when an opportunity like this comes you have to try, and I was ready to beat it. His plan was better than mine”, concluded the fighter from Brasilia.
Desde março de 2020 na divisão dos leves, Moicano já disputou cinco combates na nova faixa de peso. Ex-integrante dos penas, o atleta tupiniquim venceu três duelos e foi derrotado em três oportunidades na categoria liderada pelo seu compatriota Charles Do Bronx. O lutador brasileiro possui um cartel de 16 resultados positivos, cinco negativos e um empate no MMA profissional.
