In the aftermath of No.13 ranked UFC lightweight Renato Moicano's victory over Drew Dober at UFC Vegas 85, his eccentric post-fight remarks caught the attention of former champion Conor McGregor. Moicano, who won via unanimous decision, wasted no time in addressing various subjects during his speech.
First on the list was Moicano revealing that his 62-year-old father had just welcomed a new baby into the family. Brimming with excitement, Moicano declared, "My father is 62-years-old and he had a baby yesterday. I'm telling him, tomorrow when I get home, I'm gonna get my wife pregnant another time. Because if my f***ing father, 62-years-old, can populate the world, I can too. Money Moicano III is coming."
McGregor, fascinated by Moicano's revelation, took to social media to congratulate the Moicano family. In a tweet, McGregor wrote, "Wow! He has a new little baby brother. That's awesome! Fair play Moicano Snr hahaha."
The exchange between Moicano and McGregor didn't end there. Moicano, who admitted to previously disliking McGregor due to his trash-talk, revealed that his perception of the Irishman had changed. "McGregor, I'm your fan," replied Moicano. "I used to hate you because [of] the trash talk, but you change the game [and] I respect you."
Further into his passionate post-fight speech, Moicano voiced his love for the United States and expressed his intentions to obtain US citizenship in two years. The Brazilian fighter also shared his aspirations to join a SWAT team after retiring, emphasizing his desire to "f***ing kill the bad guys." Moicano urged people to attend church, abide by the law, promoted his YouTube channel, and showered praise on his opponent, Dober.
Moicano's victory over Dober marked his 18th win in MMA, improving his record to 18-5-1. The Brazilian fighter has now emerged victorious in four of his last five fights, securing his spot at the 13th position in the lightweight division rankings.
Meanwhile, fans eagerly await Conor McGregor's return to the Octagon. In 2021, McGregor suffered his second defeat at the hands of Dustin Poirier, and since then, speculation has surrounded his next opponent. While McGregor mentioned a potential bout against No.5 lightweight Michael Chandler at 185lbs on International Fight Week, no official announcement has been made by the UFC regarding his comeback fight.
As the MMA world buzzes with excitement over Moicano's victory and McGregor's potential return, fight enthusiasts will stay tuned for further updates and developments in the light of these fascinating post-fight remarks.
