French lightweight Fares Ziam has disclosed that he declined a fight offer against Renato Moicano scheduled for March. After Ziam turned down the bout, Moicano was instead matched up with Chris Duncan and secured a convincing victory. The win allowed Moicano to rebound from a losing streak and make a statement in the division. Ziam's decision raises questions about whether the outcome would have been different had he accepted the fight. Moicano's dominant performance against Duncan suggests he had regained his form.
