Renato Moicano recently shared his thoughts on the Nasrat Haqparast vs Quillan Salkilld fight at UFC 321 and overwhelmingly declared that he would accept the former’s call if he wins.
Haqparast and Salkilld are set to face off in a lightweight clash in the prelims for this weekend’s UFC 321 event in Abu Dhabi. Haqparast notably called out Moicano after he defeated Esteban Ribovics at UFC Vegas 103 earlier this year. However, the promotion has the Brazilian booked against Beneil Dariush at UFC 317 in June. Dariush ultimately defeated Moicano by unanimous decision.
In a recent episode of Show me the money podcast, Moicano predicted a win for Haqparast and expected the German-born Afghan to call it quits afterward. He said:
“You know what I think is going to happen? Nasrat [Haqparast] will win and then he will call me.”

“I’ll accept it.”
When Renato Moicano explained that he refused the fight against Charles Oliveira at UFC Rio
Renato Moicano recently explained why he couldn’t agree to a fight on short notice against Charles Oliveira at UFC Rio earlier this month. It appears Moicano made the decision to decline the offer due to injury and illness.
In a recent episode of Show me the money podcast, the Brazilian lightweight fighter stressed that cutting weight and going five rounds against “do Bronx” would be a mountain for him to overcome and said:
“I have an injury, so I haven’t been training much, and I also got a little bit sick, you know. So two weeks would be just to cut weight, and I can cut weight, but mostly five rounds, and especially because in my last fight I was tired, and I didn’t have time to fix that because I produced… [a lot of social media content] I post every day.”
