"Diego lopes he's a really good guy, five wins and one loss in the UFC. But I don't know, I have my reservations with him Diego lopes because he defends Mexico a lot, you know? He has every right, but then he talks bad about 'Bostil' to speak well of Mexico? Mexico is much worse than 'Bostil', are you kidding, man. Jokes aside, he is an excellent fighter”, said Moicano.

In his analysis of the struggle between Diego lopes e Alexander Volkanovsky, Renato Moicano predicted that the match will likely be decided on the ground. However, despite Diego being Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Moicano believes that it will be difficult for the Brazilian to get a submission against the former champion. Therefore, he is betting on a triumph for the Australian, although he is rooting for a Brazilian victory.

“I believe that the way the Diego lopes fight, this fight will end on the ground. And I think it will be very difficult for Diego to finish Volkanovski. It will be a very close fight, and I believe in a victory for Alexander Volkanovsky. I hope I'm wrong and that Brazil has another belt, but in my opinion, it will be Alexander Volkanovsky”, he concluded Renato Moicano.
