Renato Moicano says he has three fights left on his UFC contract, including his lightweight main event against Tom Nolan at UFC Vegas 123 on Saturday at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The 37-year-old plans to fight out the remainder of the deal and then explore free agency, saying he wants to see what the market holds. Moicano cited his YouTube channel, gym, fighter management work in Brazil and an MMA show on Dec. 5 as outside ventures, and did not rule out boxing or influencing down the line. He is coming off a second-round submission win over Chris Duncan in April after back-to-back losses to Islam Makhachev and Beneil Dariush.



Middleweight Azamat Bekoev has withdrawn from his UFC Vegas 123 fight against Andre Petroski after suffering an anaphylactic reaction a couple of days ago.
