Renato Moicano Reveals UFC 311 Fight Purse<\/h2>\n

Fresh off the back of his UFC 311<\/a> main event bout against Islam Makhachev<\/a>, Renato Moicano has revealed exactly how much he made for the fight.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian MMA star stepped in on just 24 hours notice to face Makhachev for the UFC Lightweight Title. This came after Arman Tsarukyan<\/a> was forced to pull out of his proposed clash with Makhachev at the very last minute.<\/p>\n

Moicano was supposed to be fighting Beneil Dariush on the main card already, but got upgraded to the main event in a clash with the pound-for-pound UFC<\/a> king as well as being given a a shot at UFC gold.<\/p>\n

Despite losing the fight in Round 1 to Islam Makhachev<\/a>, Moicano’s move certainly paid off financially for him. As with the any UFC fighter on the main card, the Brazilian was already being paid a handsome purse for his UFC 311 clash with Dariush.<\/p>\n

After being upgraded to the main event on just 24 hours notice, Moicano deservedly received a major boost to his bank balance. At the end of the day, Moicano somewhat saved the show for UFC President Dana White<\/a> at the last minute.<\/p>\n

It’s fair to say that Renato Moicano was well compensated for stepping in to fight Islam Makhachev<\/a>. Of course he was given the opportunity to fight for the UFC Lightweight Title, but he was a huge outsider with the best UFC betting sites<\/a> pre-fight.<\/p>\n

The move to the main event most definitely paid off for the 35-year-old, as he revealed his purse on the Show Me the Money Podcast<\/a> with Gilbert Burns and Matty Betss.<\/p>\n
