Renato Moicano

“You'll never see me complaining about the UFC or how much I'm paid because that doesn't matter. Everybody has their own struggles. I have to put my knees on the ground and be thankful for being able to do what I love and being paid for it.”

“I decided to only attend a UFC event unless I was invited for it. I'd never buy a ticket to go to the UFC.”

“The two things in life are finding something you'd do for free and be well-paid for it.”

“To me, martial arts is food for the soul and you have to respect that.”

“I'll always be respectful, but add a bit of entertaining to it as well. Win the world without losing your soul.”

“I don't focus too much on wins and losses.”

“I'm a martial artist and I want to treat the UFC and MMA as martial arts.”

“I want to fight everybody, and I want to show everybody how good I am.”

“The UFC has its business model and they know how to make money.”

“Ortega is a great fighter, and that loss gave me a learning experience and the motivation to get out of my comfort zone.”

“It's all about the money, and I want people to watch my fights and my career.”

“Sharing the Octagon with Jose Aldo would be an honor for me.”

“A loss means a lot, a win means a lot. A loss means many steps back and no one cares about you. If you win, you're good. If you lose, you're bad.”

“Sometimes we really want something in life, but we doubt ourselves with a 'Can I do it?' mentality, and then you end up doing nothing.”

“I began to understand that every fight I have is an investment. The same way a guy is investing in stocks and funds, I'm investing with my work, I'm investing in money.”

“I don't know who makes the rankings, but I was No. 7 in the featherweight rankings when I moved up to lightweight.”
