French lightweight Fares Ziam revealed that he declined a bout against Renato Moicano that was offered for March. After Ziam's refusal, Moicano went on to face Chris Duncan instead and secured a convincing victory, rebounding from a losing streak and re-establishing himself in the division. The post speculates whether Moicano would have achieved the same result against Ziam. No further details about why Ziam turned down the fight or what his future plans are were provided in the announcement.
