"UFC doesn't have ba**s to put me against him" - Renato Moicano unleashes expletive-laden rant on Paddy Pimblett while commentating at CFFC
UFC lightweight Renato Moicano called out fellow lightweight Paddy Pimblett to a fight while at a Cage Fury Fighting Championships event
Moicano was present alongside MMA reporter John Morgan for the CFFC event when he went on a rant calling out Pimblett to a fight. He insinuated that the UFC would not risk Pimblett's unbeaten record in the octagon and his stardom with a potentially difficult matchup against the ranked Brazilian:
“Give me the microphone right now because I have something to say. Hey Paddy Pimblett, you are f*****g b***h. I will beat your f*****g **s. I am sorry for cursing on national TV but this guy sucks. And let me tell you something, UFC doesn’t have the ba**s to put me against him."
Moicano also mentioned No.7-ranked Beneil Dariush's recent comments about the skill discrepancy between the two. Moicano stated that he wants to take on Dariush in Brazil if he can't secure a fight against Pimblett:
"Somebody just text me, Beneil Dariush is say he’s better than me in every aspect of the game. There is only [one] way to prove, if UFC doesn’t have the ba**s to put me against Paddy Pimblett, Beneil Dariush prove yourself on [in] Brazil against the ‘Money Man’ Moicano.”
