Dana White weighed in on Renato Moicano fighting at UFC Paris with a severely injured shoulder

Dana White expressed astonishment following Renato Moicano’s recent performance at UFC Paris. The Brazilian lightweight emerged victorious against Benoit Saint-Denis despite grappling with a severely injured shoulder. The fight concluded prematurely at the end of the second round due to an eye injury sustained by Saint-Denis.
