"Moicano is going for the championship. Tomorrow is Renato's time. Dudes, I'm so happy to get this opportunity. I've been working for this for a long time. And I knew it could happen. So I've been training under five rounds. I've been practicing with left-handers. I'm ready, and tomorrow I'm going to shock the world. This is Moicano, and tomorrow I will be world champion."
Recall, Moicano accepted the fight with Makhachev on Friday, January 17, following the news that Tsarukyan had injured his back and was withdrawing from the rematch against Islam.
