Renato Moicano backs Alexander Volkanovski's bid for Justin Gaethje fight

Renato Moicano expressed support for Alexander Volkanovski's move to challenge Justin Gaethje in the lightweight division. Volkanovski, following his victory over Movsar Evloev at UFC 333, is considering moving up to 155 pounds to face Gaethje. While acknowledging potential disruption to both the featherweight and lightweight divisions, Moicano emphasized the fight's entertainment value. He indicated that while Arman Tsarukyan is the top contender for a lightweight title shot, a matchup between Volkanovski and Gaethje holds greater fan interest. Moicano is set to appear in the main event at UFC Fight Night 292 against Tom Nolan.
