UFC’s Renato Moicano has put the MMA world on notice after his recent win against UFC lightweight, Drew Dober in the Co-main event of UFC Vegas 85. The Brazilian showed total grit over Dober in their fight as the Brazilian threw more than two times of total attempted strikes than what Dober threw. However, what caught the attention of fans was not the fight but the interview that came after.

Moicano seems to have gotten a hang of making some intense post-fight interviews over his past fights. Just like his post-fight interview at UFC 281, the Brazilian managed to successfully spice up that intensity in his fight against Drew Dober at UFC Vegas 85. The interview also garnered attention from even the likes of Conor McGregor.
