While waiting for the UFC to schedule his next fight, Gilbert Burns constantly comes up giving his opinion on what's happening in the organization. And the topic this time was what's next for Renato Moicano in the octagon. Aware of the bad streak his friend is going through in his career, having lost twice in 2025, the veteran offered a solution for him to win again.

Durinho was brief and to the point, highlighting that Moicano would have a great chance to end his bad streak if he faced Bobby Green . And the alternative the Brazilian brought up makes sense.

The bad boy is 39 years old, was ranked in the top 15 of the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg), and after losing two consecutive fights, returned to winning ways in December. However, Durinho indicates that it is most likely that his friend, who has been refusing fights in the UFC, will face a younger and hungrier opponent.

“ Bobby Green is an easy fight. He's a big name. I wanted to see him fight Paddy, but it doesn't make sense right now. I think Fares, maybe the UFC could offer him, but… At least he's a ranked guy. Man, it's not easy. It's difficult,” said the veteran in an interview with the channel 'Laerte Viana na Área'.
