Renato Moicano has revealed his biggest frustration with his UFC Vegas 123 loss, and it goes beyond the controversial stand-up.<\/p>\n
At UFC Vegas 123,<\/a> RenatoMoicano <\/a>was stopped by Tom Nolan<\/a> in the third round. However, the outcome could have been different if referee Dan Miragliotta<\/a> had not stood both fighters up in the second round, when Moicano had Nolan\u2019s back.<\/p>\n Renato Moicano Was in Control Before Dan Miragliotta\u2019s Stand-Up<\/p>\n The Brazilian was doing a good job of controlling Nolan on the canvas while working toward a potential submission. But after Miragliotta decided to stand them up, Nolan began punishing Moicano before eventually securing the finish in the third round.<\/p>\n The call caught Moicano completely off guard. He recalled:<\/p>\n \u201cWhat the f*** is going on?… I was shocked. I was surprised, but then I thought, okay, focus on the fight. Don\u2019t let this distract you.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n While many MMA fans are furious with the referee and believe his decision cost Moicano the fight, the Brazilian has a different issue with the loss, and it\u2019s not the sketchy stand-up.<\/p>\n Renato Moicano Says Losing Half His Paycheck Hurts the Most<\/p>\n On Ariel Helwani\u2019s show, the 37-year-old said he does not care about Tom Nolan or Dan Miragliotta and that eventually, he will not even remember the fight. What bothers him is that he only received his show money, while Nolan took home both his show and win money. He said:<\/p>\n \u201cI could not care less about Tom Nolan or Dan Miragliotta. It\u2019s just life… Eventually, I\u2019m not going to even remember the fight… I\u2019m not here to make friends… I\u2019m here for money. The only thing that I get sad about is I got only half of the paycheck. That\u2019s my problem… You put your life on the line, and sometimes because of other people\u2019s mistakes, you don\u2019t get paid.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out Renato Moicano\u2019s comments below:<\/p>\n
