The featherweight Renato Moicano seems to have the UFC's trust. Coming off a surprising victory over the veteran Jeremy Stephens, the Brazilian renewed with Ultimate for four more fights. The announcement was made by the fighter himself, who posed for a photo with the new contract on his social networks.

The image, in fact, revealed that Moicano is spending a season training at American Top Team, home to names like Amanda nunes, Tyron woodley, junior gypsy, Yoel romero e Joanna Jedrzejczyk. A member of the Constrictor Team, the Brazilian still doesn't have a new fight scheduled and is taking advantage of the season in the United States to improve technically.

Undefeated so far in his career, Moicano has 11 wins and one draw in his professional MMA record. In Ultimate, there are three victories. After debuting in December 2014 with a triumph over Tom Niinimaki, the Brazilian won Zubaira Tukhugov at historic UFC 198 before overcoming Jeremy Stephens, in the biggest victory of his career so far.
