Renato Moicano has a problem together with his official rating after UFC Battle Night time 243.
Moicano (20-5-1 MMA, 12-5 UFC) battered Benoit Saint Denis for a second-round physician’s stoppage TKO this previous Saturday in Paris to notch his fourth straight win. Regardless of his spectacular efficiency, Moicano stayed put at No. 11 within the UFC light-weight rankings, which he took umbrage with.
“That’s the primary time I see any person destroy their opponent and don’t stand up on the rankings… I assume MMA journalists love macron too.”

Moicano had a sense that might be the case previous to the rankings replace. He went on a rant on X, explaining why nearly all of the fighters ranked above him don’t advantage their standing. He thinks he must be ranked No. 6.
“If UFC rankings aren’t whole bullsh*t, I must be ranked No. 6 within the light-weight division tomorrow,” Moicano mentioned. “Why? Within the final 8 months, I’ve fought 3 instances, and I’m on a six-fight win streak within the light-weight division, with 5 stoppages. But, ranked above me are No. 10 Max Holloway, a legend, however he’s at 145 and shall be dealing with Topuria for the featherweight belt at UFC 308. Even when he loses, his spot within the light-weight rankings is senseless. He simply beat Gaethje, so if something, he must be ranked No. 3. I’d gladly take No. 7 if that was case. No. 9 Rafael Fiziev coming off two losses to Mateusz Gamrot and Justin Gaethje. His final battle was in September 2023.
“No. 8 Mateusz Gamrot coming off a loss to Dan Hooker in August 2024. No. 7 Beneil Dariush coming off two losses to Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan. His final battle was in December 2023. No. 6 Michael Chandler: If anybody doesn’t deserve this spot, it’s Michael Chandler. He’s 2-3 within the UFC, coming off a loss to Dustin Poirier in November 2022. Since then, he’s been sitting out, ready for Conor McGregor’s return, and solely now determined to battle Charles Oliveira. There’s no means I’m not No. 6 within the light-weight division proper now.”
If UFC Rankings Aren’t Complete Bullshit, I Ought to Be Ranked #6 within the Light-weight Division Tomorrow. Why? Within the final 8 months, I’ve fought 3 instances and I’m on a 6-fight win streak within the light-weight division, with 5 stoppages. But, ranked above me are:
