As he prepares to face Beneil Dariush at UFC 311, Renato Moicano took the opportunity to make an unexpected request.
Renato Moicano recently performed impressively with a referee stoppage victory over Benoît Saint-Denis in Paris. This dominant performance confirmed that the Brazilian is one of the serious contenders in the lightweight category. With his aggressive style and technical skills, Moicano has established himself as a feared opponent, and his next challenge against Beneil Dariush promises to be a crucial fight in his quest for a place among the best in the division lightweight.
“It’s not like it was ten years ago”
Taking advantage of the media attention around UFC 311, Moicano took a position on a subject that is close to his heart: the revaluation of bonuses. During his interview on TNT Sportshe declared: “To be honest, with this inflation, this bonus needs to be updated, you know? $50,000 isn’t the same as it was ten years ago, but it’s still a good thing to be able to get a little more money. »
This remark reflects a growing debate among UFC fighters, who highlight the gap between the revenue generated by the organization and the bonuses granted to athletes. The Brazilian highlights the impact of inflation and the cost of living on the real value of the $50,000 offered for big performances.
-A request that echoes in the world of MMA
By suggesting a review of bonuses, Renato Moicano joins a growing movement within the fighter community, who are pleading for better compensation for their efforts and sacrifices. As the UFC generates record revenues from its paid partnerships and events, this demand could resonate with other athletes. It remains to be seen whether Dana White will be sensitive to these demands.
In the meantime, Moicano remains focused on his next fight against Dariush, but his message is clear: fighters deserve recognition worthy of their commitment in the octagon.
Will Moicano continue his rise in the lightweight category?
