Renato Moicano already has a defined opponent for his return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). After dominating Chris Duncan and returning to the win column, the fighter, who also works as a YouTuber, is scheduled for a rematch against Brian Ortega at UFC 331, set for September 12th.
The official UFC announcement comes shortly after Moicano expressed dissatisfaction with the media, which had prematurely reported the fight when it was still just a rumor.

At 37 years old, the Brazilian has a career record of 21 wins and seven losses. He is trying to confirm his good form after breaking a streak of two consecutive defeats in the organization.
Brian Ortega , on the other hand, is experiencing his worst moment in the UFC, accumulating four losses in his last five fights.

With considerable experience, the paths of Renato Moicano and Brian Ortega first crossed in July 2017, when both were still prospects in the featherweight division (up to 65,7 kg). Undefeated at the time, the Brazilian was submitted with a guillotine choke in the third round, in a very balanced fight. Since then, both have become title challengers in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Currently, the Brazilian is ranked tenth in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg), while his opponent is making his debut in the category.
