Renato Moicano on Tom Nolan after UFC Vegas 123 loss: 'I lost to a guy who's bad'
Moicano, stopped in round three of the main event, says he is not going to stop. He has two fights left on his UFC contract.
Renato Moicano gave his verdict on Tom Nolan in a video on his YouTube channel, posted hours after Nolan stopped him in the third round of the UFC Vegas 123 main event.
"I lost to a guy who's bad," Moicano said. "I still think he's bad. He's good on the feet."
He also said: "All respect to Tom Nolan, an excellent guy." Moicano said Nolan "is not responsible for the reset in any way", after referee Dan Miragliotta drew criticism from fighters for standing the pair up in round two with Moicano on Nolan's back.
Moicano had already written on X that he "had a terrible performance". In the video he said: "I'm not going to stop, I'm not going to get discouraged."
The loss took Moicano to 21-8-1 and Nolan to 12-1. Moicano now has two fights left on his UFC deal and has said he wants to test free agency when it runs out.
