Moicano is a rangy Brazilian veteran who works behind a long jab and leg kicks before hunting the back, with 11 of his 21 wins by submission. He took a short-notice title shot against Islam Makhachev at UFC 311 and was submitted, then dropped a decision to Dariush before rebounding with a submission of Chris Duncan in April 2026. At 37, he sits in the lightweight top ten as a proven gatekeeper to the elite.
