Fighter bioRenato Moicano – General Profile
Renato "Money" Moicano (born May 21, 1989, in Brasília, Brazil) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the UFC's lightweight division. Standing at 5'11" with a 72″ reach, he fights out of American Top Team and is known for his elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and sharp striking .
MMA Career
Moicano turned pro in 2010 and initially fought at featherweight, making his UFC debut in December 2014. After several ups and downs in that division—including wins over Cub Swanson and Calvin Kattar and a loss in a title eliminator against Brian Ortega—he moved to lightweight in 2020. Highlight performances include a first-round submission over Brad Riddell at UFC 281 in 2022 and a knockout victory over Jalin Turner at UFC 300 in April 2024 .
Recent Developments
In January 2025, Moicano stepped in on short notice to challenge Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title at UFC 311 but was submitted in the first round. At UFC 317 in June 2025, he faced Beneil Dariush and lost via unanimous decision; despite dropping Dariush in the first round, he was controlled on the ground in later rounds. He openly acknowledged his need to improve takedown defense in a post-fight statement.
Fighting Style
Moicano is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Alex Leleco, known for his guillotine and rear-naked chokes. He combines slick grappling with refined striking, making him a well-rounded and dangerous lightweight .
Personal Life
Outside the cage, Moicano trains at American Top Team in Florida. He’s recognized for his professionalism, eloquence in interviews, and a colorful personality—famously joking after UFC wins.
