Renato ‘Moicano’ wants to avenge past loss against Brian Ortega

Renato
Carneiro admittedly has bad blood with Brian
Ortega. 

Carneiro scored a dominant stoppage win over
American Top Team teammate Chris
Duncan at
UFC Fight Night 272 on Saturday in Las Vegas. “Money Moicano”
subsequently called out Brian
Ortega, who handed him his first professional loss in 2017.

“There is one motherf—er that I have bad blood with,” Carneiro
said on the post-fight show. “And his name is Brian
Ortega. He run the first time, I was beating him the first
time. He got me. OK, fair enough. It was my first defeat. But now I
want his head. I want to kill this motherf—-r.” 

Unfinished Business

Carneiro (21-7) faced Ortega (16-5) early in his UFC career at UFC
214 in 2017. Carneiro put on an impressive performance, going
toe-to-toe against Ortega for the most part. However, as Carniero
started showing signs of fatigue in the final round, Ortega caught
him in a sneaky guillotine and earned a quick tap, handing the
Brazilian his first pro loss. 

While Ortega rose to stardom soon after their fight, “Money
Moicano” has gradually built his brand over the years. Ortega is
likely at the tail end of his career now, having dropped four of
his last five outings. Meanwhile, the win over Duncan saw Carneiro
rebound from back-to-back losses.
