Renato Moicano is ranked #10 at UFC lightweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
The ground is where fights end: 11 wins by submission (52% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.
Most recent outing: a win over Chris Duncan via submission (rear naked choke) r2. Business handled.
At 37, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
