Dana White weighed in on Renato Moicano fighting at UFC Paris with a severely injured shoulder

Dana White expressed astonishment following Renato Moicano’s recent performance at UFC Paris. The Brazilian lightweight emerged victorious against Benoit Saint-Denis despite grappling with a severely injured shoulder. The fight concluded prematurely at the end of the second round due to an eye injury sustained by Saint-Denis.

Moicano revealed post-fight that he had injured his shoulder three weeks prior but refused to withdraw. He entered the octagon with a noticeable bump on his shoulder and later shared X-ray images showing a dislodged bone.

In a presser for 'Dana White's Contender Series,' the UFC CEO commended Moicano's efforts and said:

​

​

''You saw what happened to him [Moicano], right? It's going to be a minute before he's even discussed... It was incredible, what he was able to do with that injury.''
