Renato Moicano doesn\u2019t want to hear any compliments from upcoming opponent Tom Nolan as they approach their UFC Vegas 123 fight on October 31st inside the Meta Apex.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old Moicano has been a fan favorite for years due to his exciting fight style and brazen personality.<\/a> That fandom extends to 26-year-old Tom Nolan.<\/p>\n \u201cFighting a legend and a hero of mine growing up is a cool thing,\u201d Nolan said during a media day appearance. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the heroes for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Moicano took the stage soon after to speak to the press and was asked what he thought of Nolan\u2019s kind words.<\/p>\n \u201cF–k that, Tom Nolan,\u201d Moicano exclaimed. \u201cI\u2019m going to beat your f–king ass, bro. Stop that s–t. I don\u2019t want compliments. I want money.\u201d<\/p>\n Moicano was originally supposed to fight Brian Ortega at UFC 331 in September, but an Ortega injury resulted in him being pushed to Halloween against the tough but relatively unknown Nolan.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe everybody can agree with that that Tom Nolan is more dangerous than Ortega,\u201d Moicano said of the switch. \u201cOrtega is a bigger name, but I think beating Tom Nolan would do better for my record and for my resume.\u201d<\/p>\n
