Renato Moicano vs Benoit Saint Denis Preview & Picks
Benoit Saint Denis is tipped to win this main event fight via stoppage.

- Renato Moicano has been stopped in 4 of his 5 career losses
- Renato Moicano has been knocked out 3 times in the UFC
- Renato Moicano has twice been knocked out in the first round
Renato Moicano Form
Renato Moicano is the #11 ranked lightweight contender with a professional record of 19-5 (1 KO, 10 Subs) with 1 Draw.
Moicano debuted in December 2014 and won five of his first six fights before seeing his career stall between 2019 and 2020.
The 35-year-old Brazilian was knocked out in the second round by Jose Aldo, and was then stopped with strikes by ‘The Korean Zombie’ in the first round.
He rebounded to submit Damir Hadzovic in 44 seconds, only to then get knocked out by Rafael Fiziev in the first round.
Moicano bounced back with a couple of submission wins, stopping Jai Herbert and Alexander Hernandez in the second round, only to see his momentum stall with a decision loss to Rafael dos Anjos.
The Brazilian has not lost since however, reeling off three consecutive wins starting with a first-round submission win over Brad Riddell in November 2022.
He did not fight again until 2024, but in his earlier outings this year he made up for lost time by beating Drew Dober on points and Jalin Turner by second-round TKO.
Benoit Saint Denis Form
Benoit Saint Denis is the #12 ranked lightweight contender with a career record of 13-2 (4 KOs, 9 Subs) with 1 Draw.
Saint Denis debuted in the UFC in October 2021 and got off to a disappointing start as he dropped a decision to Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos.
He rebounded quickly, submitting Niklas Stolze in the second round to spark a five-fight win streak that propelled him into the rankings.
The 28-year-old Frenchman followed that up with a second-round knockout of Gabriel Miranda, before submitting Ismael Bonfim in the first round.
Saint Denis’ climb continued in the final third of 2023 as he fought twice, knockout out Thiago Moises in the second round and Matt Frevola in the first.
He failed to make it six wins in a row though, as he was knocked out by Dustin Poirier in the second round back in March.
Verdict
Benoit Saint Denis is an overwhelming favourite and deservedly so.
We expect him to tear through Renato Moicano and deliver a quick knockout finish.
