Moicano criticises venue, opponent<\/p>\n
Experience eventually prevailed in Las Vegas as Moicano weathered early pressure, bloodied Duncan on the feet, and eventually took his back to force the tap.<\/p>\n
But the win was secondary to the message.<\/p>\n
Immediately following the victory, Moicano unleashed a blistering critique of the event\u2019s setting and his opponent\u2019s profile.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis Apex card was f***ing sh*t,\u201d Moicano told reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cDana White, don\u2019t listen to that, but you\u2019re having Moicano as a main event in f***ing Apex. Are you kidding me?\u201d<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old argued that fighting in the small UFC Apex facility, which is typically reserved for Fight Night cards, offers zero career growth compared to arena shows.<\/p>\n
This frustration was compounded by his belief that Duncan, despite his winning streak, is a no-name opponent.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is f***ing Chris Duncan, brother? That fight does nothing for my career, does nothing for my YouTube,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
