“If You Want the Smoke My Brother You Be Prepared”: Renato Moicano All In for Fight With Paddy Pimblett After UFC 304 Callout

The recently concluded UFC 300 surely did justice by firing on all cylinders, shattering records, and taking the sport to new heights. Well, following the stupendous success, the upcoming events are even more thrilling, and the hype is through the roof, especially for UFC 303 & 304. Adding another layer to the storyline, #10 ranked lightweight contender Renato Moicano recently responded to Paddy Pimblett’s UFC 304 callout.

The Brazilian retweeted the Brit’s callout on ‘X’ with a no-nonsense caption, essentially asking Pimblett to send him the contract to make his wish come true. Moicano said,

“Send me the contract.”

A few hours ago, the #27 ranked fighter was seen calling out the 34-year-old, saying that his next step would be to take on anyone in the top 15. Whether it be Bobby Green or the division’s gatekeeper, Moicano. ‘The Baddy’ believes himself to be well-equipped to take on the cream of the crop in the division.

Even more so, the former Cage Warriors featherweight champion wishes to be a part of the upcoming pay-per-view in Manchester. Pimblett was seen in the video posted by ‘Championship Rounds’, training in the gym, and talking about possible fights.

Contrary to his usual cocky approach, Pimblett did not resort to trash talk in his build-up against Renato Moicano, revealing that there’s no animosity among them and he in fact finds him “funny.” However, Pimblett did not take the same approach when he responded to Bobby Green’s UFC 300 callout.

Pimblett Takes a Dig at ‘Unpopular’ Bobby Green

The storylines are slowly building up as the UFC is heading to the UK. In an effort to up the antics, Bobby Green called out Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett after his win over Jim Miller at UFC 300 in Vegas. The 37-year-old, following his decision win, grabbed the mic to challenge the Brit.

Pimblett responded back with a sharp counter, saying that Green is only looking for a big payday because he himself doesn’t have any significant fan base or following. He said,

“He might be ranked but he’s got no followers and he needs me, you know what I mean? Just like everyone else, they want to fight me cause they know I’m ‘The boy.'”

Pimblett then took on the challenge like a warrior, saying that he was ready to brawl with Green anytime if that bout is on the table. Pimblett also revealed that he prefers to take on Moicano in his next fight, mentioning that he likes the Brazilian. The 29-year-old also pointed out that their fight would be thoroughly entertaining.
