”They didn’t offer the fight… but easy problem to solve… title fight eliminator in Vegas December #ufc”

During the post-fight conference, Renato Moicano questioned the rankings of the UFC lightweight division, aiming at the number 5 ranked contender Dan Hooker. Moicano wants to fight him next to prove himself as according to the Brazilian fighter, Dan Hooker didn’t earn that spot he had been put on the spot by the UFC and he will dethrone him from the place by defeating him in the fight as the Kiwi fighter doesn’t have any chance against him on the ground.
