Renato Moicano acknowledged the unlikelihood of facing Paddy Pimblett in the near future following Pimblett's recent victory over Michael Chandler at UFC 314. Despite previous exchanges of trash talk, Moicano clarified that he does not harbor animosity towards Pimblett. The Brazilian fighter, ranked No. 10 in the lightweight division, expressed acceptance of the UFC's support for Pimblett's rise in the rankings, hinting at potential matchups for Pimblett against Charles Oliveira or Justin Gaethje.
Moicano, who recently experienced a setback in a title fight against Islam Makhachev, remains focused on his upcoming fatherhood, expecting a child in late May. He emphasized his readiness to return to the octagon post-birth, showing a preference for his next opponent's skill level rather than their ranking. As the dynamics of the lightweight division continue to evolve, Moicano maintains a pragmatic outlook on his fighting career and future matchups.
