“UFC 300 is not that great” - Ranked lightweight openly calls out fight card for UFC’s landmark April event
UFC 300 is not getting the proverbial five-star rating from one of the best 155-pounders in the company.
This sentiment was imparted recently on The MMA Hour as Ariel Helwani spoke to the individual in question.
Renato Moicano was speaking to the tenured journalist and when the looming April 13th pay-per-view event in Las Vegas was brought up, Moicano said,
"For me, I will be honest as a fan, you know, and as a YouTuber, UFC 300 is not that great. I will be honest with you, it's not that great. It's good like I say for me, the only fight that I'm interested here is Justin Gaethje -Max Holloway. Calvin Kattar and (Aljamain) Sterling, Charles (Oliveira) and (Arman) Tsarukyan, Bobby Green-Jim Miller, for me personally."
