Renato Moicano used some colorful language when talking about France in the wake of his latest UFC win that transpired in the European country. UFC Paris saw Moicano emerge victorious and extend his winning streak in mixed martial arts to four straight while his overall professional MMA record improved to 20-5-1.
One would presume the lightweight competitor would be flying high but it seems like there's some discontentment on the monetary end of things. The man who goes by the moniker of 'Money Moicano' seemed none too pleased about the taxation component of fighting in Paris as the bulk of his MMA career has taken place throughout Brazil and America.
Via his personal X account following his win last night, Renato Moicano said:

Renato Moicano and the nature of his latest UFC victory
Renato Moicano secured an impressive win over a ranked contender and did so on enemy soil as well. Benoit Saint Denis was the partisan favorite in this outing and this was evident during the UFC Fight Night headliner in France. In spite of all of that, Moicano showcased great skill throughout a comprehensive performance on Sept. 28.
The 35-year-old secured a stoppage victory over Saint Denis as the bout did not encroach into the third frame of the fight. Moicano notched the win by way of a doctor stoppage after an eye injury to Saint Denis left him unable to fight beyond the second stanza in the eyes of the cage-side doctors.
The native of Brazil now has back-to-back second-round finishes following his ground-and-pound stoppage against Jalin Turner at UFC 300 in April.
Conversely, Saint Denis is now on a two-fight losing skid with his previous setback taking place against Dustin Poirier at UFC 299 in March.
Moicano is the No.11- ranked lightweight contender while Saint Denis is situated in the 12th spot in this weight category. To that point, upward mobility in the next UFC rankings update may not be possible but Moicano has found a right momentum.
