Can Renato Moicano Pull Off An Upset vs Islam?!

[Ladron4sherdog]

That was just a style thing. Moicano easily grappled BSD whereas Poirier is a striker. Islam is a completely different monster.

True. Still surprised how easily Moicano handled BDS.

I love Moicano, but he's going to need Jesus Christ himself to step in that cage with him to win

 

[Black9]

I'm rooting for Moicano simply for the post fight speech.

It could literally be the greatest post-fight speech of all time.

 

[Luthien]

I'm going to rally around Moicano...

Please upset @HI SCOTT NEWMAN

 

[Superior]

No, another gimme fight for Islam, albeit not by his own doing this time.

 

[Daniel Henry]

This will be a east fight for Islam. The only question is does he choke him out in rd1 or rd2

 

[Conan the K-9]

Of course we need to think he has a chance, otherwise there is no point to make this fight.
No one wants to see a gimme fight as the main event. If this is something like that, it should be cancelled and the original fight postponed.

 

[Trabaho]

Takedown into finish under 1.5 rounds

 

[Neck&Neck]

Check it out, check it out, check it out… BOOM
Money by submission, I had crazy visions, son

I really hope he does it, and we get a long creepy title speech at the end, would be Gold

At least he is good on the floor, so it will help, they usually love to give strikers to Islam and the others so they can use the BJJ holding positions (definitely not wrestling as people on here think) for the full 25

Put the TAP out playa

 

[Luthien]

Awww that's cute

 

[Kwic]

This gonna look like Islam Hooker or Islam Green

Moicano has way better BJJ than both of them.
I think even Gamrot really complimented his BJJ saying that once he takes your back you are in trouble and he trains with him often I think. Gamrot's grappling is no joke.
Still, Islam should handle him on the ground from the top position I would imagine.
Moicano maybe has good top control and back taking but not sure about him being on his back.

I don't know what to make of Moicano. He looked great against which has given renewed confidence and momentum. However, there's been a number of fights where he's looked pretty much a journeyman.

He's been on a solid 3 or 4 fight streak.

He made BSD look amateur and did it with a dislocated collar bone.

 

[Krixes]

I'm gonna give it the best, positive money spin I can. This is the best version of Money, even at age 35. He's got a great gas-tank, ground game, and a solid volume striker. He was also training for a grappling southpaw. His main training partner was Dustin, who just fought Islam. He also technically had a full fight camp.

 

[Tohm]

Moicano is in a very good moment, probably the peak of his career, but I think it's very unlikely for him to beat Islam, it's possible, but highly unlikely.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

he has a 1 in 1000 shot at winning, not impossible but not at all likely. I expect Islam to sub him in 1 rd.

Still I gamble and will put $50 on him for the hail mary W via KO/TKO...odds likely going to be insane for that lol.

Agree, he decimated BSD but there have been fights where he's looked very ordinary. He finished Turner the fight before but he was close to getting finished himself.

1 in 1000 is a little crazy. Moicano isn't an absolute scrub. He's good.
