Benoit Saint Denis facing a Brazilian?
Benoit Saint Denis has not fought in MMA since his knockout loss at UFC 299 to Dustin Poirier. He still competed in grappling on May 18. As his notoriety continues to grow, he seems to be the main event of UFC Paris in place of Ciryl Gane. Giom Peltier, his manager, revealed during an interview with ActuMMA that BSD would be in a good position to headline the next Bercy card. But against whom?
According to AgFight, Benoit Saint Denis could face Renato Moicano. The latter is coming off a TKO victory against Jalil Turner at UFC 300. Renato is ranked number 10 in the lightweight rankings, so just above BSD. AgFight specifies that nothing is signed between the two parties but that there is a verbal agreement between the BSD team and the Moicano team. As a reminder, this is the first media to have announced the fight between Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan in addition to the fight between Moucano and Jalil Turner.
