Renato Moicano did not hide his dissatisfaction at being left out of the list of award winners at UFC Vegas 115. The Brazilian was the protagonist of the main fight of the event, held last Saturday (4), and completely dominated Chris Duncan . With a secure performance, the YouTuber had the advantage in the striking, hurt his opponent and confirmed the victory with a rear-naked choke in the second round. Despite the compelling performance, the result was not enough to guarantee the $100 bonus (More than R$516, at the current exchange rate).
On social media, Renato Moicano adopted a lighthearted tone when commenting on his absence from the awards ceremony. He reacted calmly, thanked God, and took the opportunity to wish his fans a happy Easter, ending the message with the traditional martial arts greeting.

With his victory over Chris Duncan , Renato Moicano ended the worst losing streak of his career. The Brazilian had suffered two consecutive defeats, one by submission to Islam Makhachev and the other by judges' decision against Beneil Dariush.
Brazilian duo earns bonus at UFC Vegas 115
While Moicano failed to impress and win the bonus, other Brazilians have plenty of reasons to celebrate. Alice Pereira and Alessandro Costa were chosen as having the best performances of the event, and both left Las Vegas with a whopping US$100.
In the preliminary card, the Brazilian surprised everyone by knocking out Hailey Cowan with a beautiful knee strike at the end of the second round, in a fight valid for the bantamweight category (up to 61,2 kg). Also in the initial group of fights of the night, Alessandro Costa put on a show against Stewart Nicoll and won by technical knockout after landing a powerful punch to the Australian's liver area.
Two performances they'll never forget 👏 @AlessanCosta10 & @AlicePereiraUFC are leaving #UFCVegas115 with the POTN bonuses!

In addition to the Brazilians, newcomer Tommy McMillen and Italian Manolo Zecchini were chosen as the winners of Fight of the Night, and both earned the same amount as Alice and Alessandro. In less than five minutes, the two featherweights (up to 65,7 kg) exchanged heavy blows, culminating in the American's victory. McMillen remained undefeated and quickly became a name to watch in the category.
Pure grit in the Octagon 😤
Tommy McMillen & Manolo Zecchini didn't waste a second to earn the FOTN honor at #UFCVegas115!
