The UFC was in Paris, France for a stable UFC Paris card on Saturday which noticed a battle of top-15 lightweights as Renato Moicano took on Benoit Saint-Denis.
In the primary occasion, Moicano was going into enemy territory and entered the bout on a four-fight profitable streak. Saint-Denis, in the meantime, was coming off a stoppage loss to Dustin Poirier again in March.
Finally, it was Moicano who won by second-round TKO doctor stoppage as he busted up Saint-Denis within the first spherical. It was a dominating efficiency. Following UFC Paris, here’s what I believe ought to be subsequent for fighters concerned in the primary occasion.
Renato Moicano
Renato Moicano proved he’s a legit title contender at light-weight as he dominated Benoit Saint-Denis en path to the win. The Brazilian took Saint-Denis down early and he landed heavy ground-and-pound to bust up Saint-Denis’ face. After extra injury within the second spherical, his eye was fully shut and the physician stopped the struggle.
Following the win, Moicano might get a top-five opponent subsequent and be a win or two away from a title shot. One struggle that ought to occur is a Combat Evening important occasion in opposition to Dan Hooker in early 2025. The lead-up to the struggle can be stuffed with trash discuss. The winner might cement themselves because the No. 1 contender.
Benoit Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis appeared like he was a future title contender however is now on a two-fight shedding streak. The Frenchman was dominated in opposition to Renato Moicano as he had nothing for the Brazilian from the get-go. Though he did have success within the second spherical, his eye was shut and he couldn’t proceed.
Following the loss, Saint-Denis will want a step down in competitors as he appears to be like to rebuild himself. An unranked opponent could possibly be subsequent and one logical opponent is to face Diego Ferreira. The Brazilian is a former top-15 fighter who’s coming off a win over Mateusz Rebecki. It’s an opportunity to see which fighter deserves a top-15 spot.
