The UFC announced Renato Moicano versus Chris Duncan as the main event for UFC Fight Night on April 4, 2026 at the Meta Apex, but Moicano claims the bout agreement has not been officially signed. The Brazilian lightweight, who fell to his first losing skid since 2019 after dropping fights to Islam Makhachev and Beneil Dariush, appeared in disbelief during a livestream when the UFC revealed the matchup without his consent. Moicano has slipped to No. 10 in the lightweight rankings, while Duncan is unranked but riding four straight wins. The announcement drew criticism for the UFC's practice of publicly announcing fights before securing fighter signatures.
