Renato Moicano knocked out Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis in the 2nd round in Paris and made a political speech criticizing globalism
The Brazilian fighter Renato Moicano34 years old, won the main fight of the UFC Paris on Saturday (September 28, 2024). He knocked out Frenchman Benoit Saint Denis in the 2nd round in a performance considered impeccable at the Accor Arena. After the fight, he used the microphone to curse the president of France, Emmanuel Macron (Renaissance, center) and globalism.
“Fuck you, Macron. Fuck all globalists,” said Moicano, who was immediately applauded by the audience present at the stadium. Afterwards, the Brazilian also said he intended to speak more “shit” about France. He criticized the French Revolution.
“France, I came here and I wanted to talk a lot of shit about France. But, I went to the Louvre, I went to all the beautiful places in Paris, and I only had one thing to say. The French Revolution tried to erase God from the map, but guess what? Jesus Christ is life”said the fighter on the microphone at UFC Paris, an event that marked the Octagon’s return to France.
In the fight against Benoit Saint Denis, the Brazilian ran over his opponent in the 1st round. The Frenchman’s face was unrecognizable. He returned for the 2nd round, which was more balanced, but the doctor evaluated him and didn’t let him return for the 3rd round because of the facial injury. Thus, Moicano won by technical knockout.
The triumph over the Frenchman in Paris consolidated the great moment that Moicano is experiencing in the Octagon: there are 4 consecutive victories, 3 of them via the fast track, since the defeat to Rafael dos Anjos in March 2022. Currently 11th in the lightweight rankings, the Brasiliense player has a good chance of going into the Top 10 of the category in the next update.
The Brazilian also has great popularity on social media, largely due to his political stances after the fights.
In April, he gave a speech after winning his fight at UFC 300, in defense of the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution, which establishes that Congress cannot create laws that limit freedom of expression.
“I love America, I love the Constitution, I love the 1st Amendment […] If you care about your fucking country, read Ludwig von Mises and the 6 Lessons of the Austrian School, motherfuckers.”said Moicano still in the ring.
