The uncertainty surrounding UFC 324, scheduled for January 24th in Las Vegas (USA), has become a topic of debate on social media after... Renato Moicano publish a video analyzing the current state of the card. For the Brazilian lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) fighter, the cancellation of the highly anticipated fight between Kayla harrison e Amanda nunes He exposed a major weakness in the event, which, according to him, had lost relevance and become dependent on a specific star to avoid failure: Alex Poatán.

The fighter highlighted that the UFC is experiencing a moment of strong commercial pressure, especially after the billion-dollar deal with Paramount+, which requires big attractions to sustain subscriptions and maintain the interest of the general public.

"And it wasn't just the fight between Kayla harrison e Amanda nunes Since it was canceled, the entire UFC 324 event may be at risk because, in my opinion, this guy (Pimblett) shouldn't even be fighting for a title, and this fight doesn't justify a $7 billion contract that needs to impress fans in the first half of 2026…

Dana White said he's under enormous pressure, and with the fight of Amanda nunes With the event cancelled, what's left of the truly spectacular card? Absolutely nothing… And who are they going to have to call in to save UFC 324? In my opinion, the one who will save UFC 324 is… Alex Poatán.

"It's not the first time he's done this, and he's going to do it again, and this time it will be at heavyweight... (Poatan) will accept this fight with only a few weeks' notice and become the UFC heavyweight champion, doing something unprecedented," said Moicano.
