Marcos Parrumpinha wants Renato Moicano fully focused for UFC 326, scheduled for March 7th. The Brazilian, who gained notoriety in the fighting world because of his YouTube channel, is scheduled to face Brian Ortega on the main card of the event. Seeking a return to winning ways, the fighter has been prohibited by his coach from producing any type of online content until the date of the fight.

The decision was explained by Parrumpinha in a recent episode of the Overdogs Brasil podcast, which he hosts alongside Moicano himself. According to the coach, the athlete's absence from social media serves as a punishment to avoid distractions during training.
