No 13 ranked UFC lightweight Renato Moicano’s bizarre post-fight remarks on Saturday got the attention of former champion Conor McGregor. 

After defeating No 15 Drew Dober via unanimous decision at UFC Vegas 85, Moicano left no room for questions about the fight as he took the time to unload his thoughts in succession. The first subject Moicano addressed was his father having a baby at the age of 62. 

‘My father is 62-years-old and he had a baby yesterday,’ Moicano said. ‘I’m telling him, tomorrow when I get home, I’m gonna get my wife pregnant another time. Because if my f***ing father, 62-years-old, can populate the world, I can too. Money Moicano III is coming.’ 

McGregor expressed his amazement and congratulated the Moicano family on X, formerly Twitter. 

‘Wow! He has a new little baby brother,’ McGregor wrote. ‘That’s awesome! Fair play Moicano Snr hahaha.’

Moicano responded by revealing how he used to hate the Irishman before admitting his respect and admiration. 

‘McGregor, I’m your fan,’ Moicano replied. ‘I used to hate you because [of] the trash talk but you change the game [and] I respect you.’

Later in his post-fight speech, Moicano expressed his love for the United States and plans to get his US citizenship in two years. He then mentioned his aspirations of joining a SWAT team after he retires so he can ‘f***ing kill the bad guys.’

After urging people to go to church and abide by the laws, Moicano promoted his YouTube channel and praised his opponent.

‘I am one of the biggest Drew Dober fans,’ Moicano admitted. ‘When I was [in] 145, I saw that guy knocking all the people out and I said ‘I’m glad I’m not on 155[lbs],’ and today, I just beat the motherf***er. Huge, mad respect for Drew Dober.’

The win improved Moicano’s record to 18-5-1 as he won four of his last five fights. 

Meanwhile, McGregor still has fans waiting for his return to the Octagon. Having not fought since his second loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021, The Notorious has been heavily linked to No 5 lightweight Michael Chandler for his comeback appearance. 

On New Year’s Eve, McGregor said that he will face Chandler at 185lbs on International Fight Week. However, the UFC is yet to make an official announcement regarding his next fight.
