Renato Moicano bounced back at UFC Fight Night 272 when he defeated fellow American Top Team member Chris Duncan in the main event.
Moicano (21-7-1 MMA, 13-7 UFC) avoided the first three-fight losing skid of his career Saturday with a second-round submission triumph over Duncan (15-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in the lightweight headliner at Meta APEX in Las Vegas. Now, “Money” is in the win column and said he’s looking for more big fights at 155.

10-9 Moicano. Duncan needs to make it dirty and fight his way into the pocket #UFCVegas115

Moicano couldn’t make much of takedown attempts against the fence in round 1, but his jab + combos dropped Duncan in the second. Now Moicano is assaulting him from the back.
