"Holy sh*t Renato is going to die" - Fans react to Renato Moicano potentially fighting Benoit Saint Denis at UFC Paris 

MMA fans have been reacting after reports have suggested Renato Moicano vs. Benoit Saint Denis is in the works for the upcoming UFC Paris card in September.

Moicano, who is currently ranked No.10 in the lightweight division, has been in fine form over recent months. 'Money' is currently on a three-fight win streak, which includes a stunning comeback victory over Jalin Turner at UFC 300. After being rocked heavily early in the fight, the Brazilian bounced back to finish Turner in round two.

For Saint Denis, the Frenchman is hoping to return to the win column after he recently suffered his first knockout loss when he faced Dustin Poirier back in March. Despite a strong opening round from the No.12-ranked lightweight, 'The Diamond' showed his class and stopped him in the second round.

First reported by Ag Fight and shared by Championship Rounds on X, the bout between Moicano and Saint Denis has been verbally agreed, but nothing has been signed yet.

Fans have since been reacting to the rumored pairing, with many believing it is a bad matchup for Moicano. One fan tweeted:

"Holy sh*t Renato is going to die"

Another fan said:

"Submission for moicano easy money"

Renato Moicano sends message to "dirt head" Ryan Garcia following doping allegations

Renato Moicano recently expressed an interest in stepping into a boxing ring, but only if he can face the controversial Ryan Garcia.

Garcia has faced a wave of criticism following his dominant win over Devin Haney earlier this year. After causing the upset and taking the win via majority decision, it was then revealed Garcia had tested positive for the banned substance ostarine in his samples the day before and the day of the fight.

'KingRy' has continued to deny all the allegations despite the positive tests, which has led to the 25-year-old's criticism from the boxing and MMA communities.

Recently, Moicano had his say on the situation after winning a grappling-only bout on UFC Fight Pass. During his post-fight interview, the ranked UFC lightweight took aim at Garcia and said:

"I'm a UFC fighter. Top ten [ranked] lightweight and today I was doing grappling. We MMA fighters can do it all. So next time, I want to try boxing. That little dirt-head Ryan Garcia. Motherf**king steroid abuser. If I go to box, I'm gonna f**k you up."
