Why Renato Moicano sees only three more UFC fights, influencer
\nboxing in his future<\/h2>\n

Moicano said he wants to avoid a prolonged decline like that of
\nTony
\nFerguson<\/a>, who left the UFC after eight consecutive losses.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be completely honest with you, I want to finish my contract,
\nand once I finish my contract, I don’t want to fight MMA anymore,\u201d
\nMoicano told Ariel Helwani. \u201cI want to do boxing, like influencer
\nboxing. I want to beat up people that don’t know how to fight. Like
\nthis Adin Ross show\u2026 I don’t want to be like Tony Ferguson. Eight
\nfights, trying to be a champion, 40 years old, on a six-fight
\nlosing streak. I don’t want that. I’m happy. Sometimes you have to
\nrealize when you’re done. You have to realize how much gas you have
\nleft in the tank, how much love for the sport you have. For me,
\nit’s these three more fights. I think after these three I’m done
\nbecause [the UFC] is not gonna pay me enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moicano has lost three of his last four bouts. Most recently, he
\nsuffered a stoppage loss to Tom Nolan<\/a> in
\nthe main event of
\nUFC Vegas 123<\/a> on Oct. 31 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Renato Moicano gets candid about his future
\nwith just three fights left on his UFC contract: \u201cTo be completely
\nhonest with you, I want to finish my contract, and once I finish my
\ncontract, I don’t want to fight MMA anymore. I want to do boxing,
\nlike influencer boxing. I want to beat up people that don’t know
\nhow to fight. I don’t wanna be like Tony
\nFerguson<\/a>. Eight fights, trying to be a champion, 40 years old,
\non a six-fight losing streak. I don’t want that. I’m happy.
\nSometimes you have to realize when you’re done. You have to realize
\nhow much gas you have left in the tank, how much love for the sport
\nyou have. For me, it’s these three more fights. I think after these
\n3 I’m done because [the UFC] is not gonna pay me enough.”<\/p>\n
