Renato Carneiro, known as “Moicano,” is setting his sights sky-high. He’s fresh off a victory against Drew Dober at UFC Fight Night 235. And boy, was it a match to remember.
“Moicano” really showed what he’s made of. He took Dober’s best shots and still managed to outwrestle him. After three intense rounds, he snagged a unanimous decision win. And let’s not forget his post-fight interview. Classic “Moicano” style, right?
But the drama didn’t end there. Nope. Carneiro ended up in the hospital for a quick check-up. They did a CT scan on his head and face. The results? Still a mystery. Meanwhile, “Moicano” wasn’t just lying around. He went live on YouTube from the ambulance, chatting with fans and even called out Dan Hooker for his next fight.
Oh, and about that call-out. “Moicano” had been eyeing Hooker even before the Dober fight. He thinks Hooker’s an easy win. Now, he’s pushing for a match at UFC 301 in Brazil. “Dan Hooker is in trouble,” he said. “I want to beat Dan Hooker in Brazil, my brother.”
But wait, there’s more. “Moicano” then switched gears and mentioned Beneil Dariush. He’s got plans for him too, it seems. On X, he was all, “[Beneil] Dariush see you in Brazil… if you support America… retweet this sh-t and tag [UFC] modaf—kers.” Bold words, huh?
Carneiro’s on a roll, folks. He’s won two straight and four of his last five UFC fights. Hooker? He’s also riding high with wins over Claudio Puelles and Jalin Turner. Dariush, though, has hit a rough patch with two consecutive first-round KOs.
So, what’s next for “Moicano”? Brazil, Hooker, Dariush? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, it’s gonna be a wild ride.
