Brazilian lightweight Renato Moicano has stated his intention to complete the remaining fights on his current UFC deal in order to become a free agent. The announcement comes ahead of the UFC Vegas 123 event where Moicano is expected to headline.
Moicano, who secured a submission victory over Scotland's Chris Duncan at UFC Fight Night on April 4, 2026 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, expressed his desire for contractual freedom. "I would like to be a free agent," Moicano said, indicating he plans to fight out the remainder of his agreement rather than negotiate an extension.
The 34-year-old fighter has been a consistent presence in the UFC lightweight division since 2014, compiling a record that includes notable victories over ranked opponents. His upcoming headlining slot at UFC Vegas 123 represents a significant opportunity as he approaches the final stages of his current contract.
