The mystery surrounding Renato Moicano 's new opponent at UFC 326 continues. Originally, the Brazilian was scheduled to have a rematch against Brian Ortega at the event on March 7th in Las Vegas (USA), but Ortega suffered an injury and withdrew. Aware that the Brazilian is likely to remain on the card, renowned promoter Ali Abdelaziz sees this as an ideal opportunity to feature one of his fighters.
The businessman revealed to 'MMA Fighting' that Argentinian Esteban Ribovics will be Moicano's new opponent at UFC 326 and, through his official 'X' account, shared several posts about the fight. It's worth noting that the Brazilian's name was previously linked to the promising Tom Nolan . However, the Australian denied that he will face the veteran.

It's true that, so far, the UFC hasn't commented on Moicano's future. In any case, Abdelaziz is already taking the fight between the Brazilian and the Argentinian in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg) for granted.
Durinho supports the fight.
Paying close attention to what's happening in MMA, Gilbert Burns not only supported the fight but also expressed his excitement. Furthermore, the Brazilian is in a complicated situation regarding the potential duel because he's friends with Moicano, co-hosts the 'Show Me The Money' podcast with him, and trains with Ribovics at the 'Kill Cliff FC' gym.
