Can Renato Moicano Pull Off An Upset vs Islam?!

[Red Dragoniop]

Not only can he, he will.

It's gonna be easy money my brother.

Moicano can not afford to lose.

Islam is in trouble.

facts i bet my house and wifes car on MONEY MOICANO

 

[sdpdude9]

I mean it’s mma, anything can happen. But not a lot of reason to think Moicano can pull it off, this is a tough fight for him even if he was preparing for it.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Absolutely fucking not. Credit to his guts but this will be over in less than 2 rounds.

 

[fortheo]

This gonna look like Islam Hooker or Islam Green

Moicano probably loses, but he isn't getting mauled on the mats like those two unless he gets rocked first or gasses bad late. He's a far, far better grappler than hooker and green

 

[Ladron4sherdog]

Moicano just destroyed St Denis. But Islam is a completely different level than St Denis.

Mak sets the LW title defense record tomorrow

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

No crazier things have happened but Islam is 8 times the better striker and wrestler

 

[Spounman]

 

[burningspear]

it seems to be written in the stars

 

[Black9]

This gonna look like Islam Hooker or Islam Green

I do think it'll be one-sided for Islam, but Moicano has FAR better ground game than either of them 2.

 

[ElCasca]

I mean he'll have to chin him

Extremely unlikely but he can Matt Serra/Bisping Islam

 

[Versez]

I have a Bisping VS Rockhold vibe, but nah.

 

[Black9]

Mak sets the LW title defense record tomorrow

Literally nobody is mentioning that.
Dustin was back-n-forth w/ St Dennis then gave Islam a solid fight after.
Moicano destroyed St.Dennis his last fight and isn't coming off the couch but was already training.

 

[aogiri]

Nah. Grappling will be competitive, so what?
He has nothing for him on the feet and no KO power, nor did he train for five

 

[flektarn]

The smaller guy winning against a dude who wrestled with khabib his whole life? I like moicano but come on.

 

[Preston broadus]

I like islam....but that underdog story would be insane. I'll say a prayer to my ancestors for moicano

 

[Ladron4sherdog]

Yeah let's see how it plays out tomorrow.

 

[TheMoa]

I dont think he has a chance.. and I like him a lot

that being said... the funniest thing is that a famous brazilian mma youtuber here made a video this week joking that Moicano should put some laxatives on Arman's water to get his title shot.
I bet people will make some conspiracies about it

 

[andgonsil]

If Moicano wins, he should not grant the rematch

Retire and be happy

 

[World eater]

I have been a fan of Moicano for a long time and I am glad he gets this giant opportunity. Sadly, I don’t think he is at that level yet and Islam will likely make it look easy. Unfortunatelly, this will Set Renato back for a year if not forever. Rooting for him, but not holding my breath. The card just went down by 20%.

 

[Ladron4sherdog]

He'd better retire because he's not going to fight anyone other than Mak in a rematch if an upset plays out.
