Moicano: "The UFC is trying to promote St. Denis, but they picked the wrong opponent for him"

UFC Brazilian lightweight Renato Moicano shared his thoughts on his upcoming fight with Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis.

The two fighters will meet in the main event of UFC Fight Night 245, which takes place Sept. 28 in Paris.

"The UFC is trying to promote Saint-Denis, one hundred percent. But I'm not even mad because it's just business. I know Europe is a huge market and they don't have a lot of good European fighters, and Saint-Denis is a dangerous guy. An aggressive fighter, that's why the UFC likes him.

He's European, young, represents a good market, so he can make good money for the UFC, but you know what? They picked the wrong guy as his opponent because I'm going to go into the octagon and beat him," MMA Mania quoted Saint-Denis as saying.
