Brazilian UFC lightweight fighter Renato Moicano issued a challenge to British fighter Paddy Pimblett following his victory over Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis.
- “Next, I want easy money. Paddy Pimblett, easy money. Dan Hooker, easy money. Don’t come up with bull***t fights. Don’t come up with guys that are tough. I want easy fights,” Moicano said after his bout with Saint-Denis.
- In response, Pimblett took to social media shortly after to say, "Let’s do this".
