Quick read
Renato Moicano was elevated to challenge Islam Makhachev for the UFC lightweight title at UFC 311 after Arman Tsarukyan pulled out on 24 hours' notice. Moicano was riding a four-fight win streak, capped by a TKO victory over Benoit Saint-Denis, when he received the unexpected opportunity. The Brazilian lightweight was originally scheduled for a bout with Beneil Dariush at the same event. This represents a massive career moment for Moicano, who will now compete for gold against the dominant champion Makhachev.
