UFC Fight Night: Lee Vs. Oliveria Main Card Preview And Predections
3. Renato Moicano (13-3-1) Vs. Damir Hadžović (13-5)
After consecutive losses to Jose Aldo and 'The Korean Zombie' appear to have knocked Moicano out of the featherweight title picture, the Brazilian has decided to move up a division and try his hand at lightweight.
His first test at this new weight class will come against Bosnian-Danish striker, Damir Hadžović.
Hadžović is 3-3 in the UFC and is primarily relies on his stand up game to get the job done. He has shown some power with two of his three wins in Octagon coming by way of knockout.
Assuming his confidence (or jaw) hasn't been completely shattered by his previous two losses and he can adjust to the weight class, this should be Moicano's fight to lose. The Brazilian appears to have an advantage everywhere. He is the more technical striker and has a knack for finding his opponent's neck when the fight goes to the ground.
As long as he's able to avoid the power shots, Renato Moicano should win this one fairly convincingly.
The Pick: Moicano via second-round submission.
