After destroying Frenchman Benoît Saint-Denis at UFC Paris 3, Brazilian Renato Moicano revealed this Sunday that he broke his right collarbone a few weeks ago during his training camp.
The Brazilian Renato Moicano extinguished the boiling Accor Arena in Bercy on Saturday evening by defeating Benoît Saint Denis. Headliner of UFC Paris 3, the 35-year-old fighter, number 11 in the -70kg ranking, completely disfigured the Frenchman who became the standard bearer of French MMA for one evening. With his eyes swollen after a hellish first round spent in Moicano’s guard to endure an avalanche of elbows, BSD finally bowed to a doctor’s stoppage between the second and third rounds, after a series of unsuccessful visual tests carried out in the middle of the octagon.
But on Moicano’s side too, a physical problem could well have changed the match. In a message published on X this Sunday, the Brazilian fighter revealed that he had seriously injured his shoulder, with supporting images. In the photos, we can see a broken right clavicle, completely detached from the rest. “I injured my shoulder three weeks ago… But I couldn’t pull out of a main event. Thanks to my team for helping me train despite that and for having me prepared for this fight,” Moicano said in his post.
Moicano stunned Saint Denis in the first round
Author of a real masterclass during the first round (10-8 on the judges’ card), Renato Moicano took the advantage from the start of the fight, leaving no chance for the Frenchman to be able to exploit his weakness in the fight. shoulder: a successful first takedown in less than 30 seconds followed by more than four minutes of control lesson. Result: around thirty significant blows sent from the guard, which tilted the match to the advantage of the Brazilian.
After a second round which supported BSD’s eye injuries, the Brazilian finally left Bercy as the big winner, even offering himself some trashy responses to Michael Bisping’s microphone to end his evening.
