In an exclusive interview with SUPER LUTAS , Moicano revealed the main difficulties he had to overcome to organize the first Money Moicano MMA event. It's true that the company is still small, but the Brazilian has already experienced some of the problems that Dana White and the UFC's top brass usually deal with, since organizing events isn't just about putting together fights.

EXCLUSIVE: Jokes, fights, and fun! Renato Moicano predicts the success of the 1st edition of Money Moicano MMA.

In any case, Moicano and his team, despite the constant jokes, showed professionalism and managed to make the event official, which quickly won over the public. In fact, the UFC's top lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) fighter is so excited and fulfilled that, in a conversation with SUPER LUTAS , he already mentioned when he will hold the second edition of Money Moicano MMA.

“A lot happened, everything went wrong. In fact, it's still happening today. Fights fall through, it's difficult to match the athletes, you talk to the athlete, he says he wants to and then he doesn't anymore. Matchmaking is already difficult. Then, it was difficult for us to choose the fight for the registered fighters, because they are all guys without professional experience. So, we had to create a storyline. So, we have a Bolsonaro supporter against a PT supporter, I want to put a guy from Israel against a guy from Palestine,” said the UFC top fighter.

“We are trying to do everything you can imagine. So, that in itself creates a big problem. Sponsors come in and then leave. It's harder than it seems, but, thank God, we've had a lot of help. Tiago Pamplona is producing the event, we also had the people who manage the UFC, we're working with them,” he concluded.
