Renato Moicano made a resounding statement in his return to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 115, securing a second-round submission victory over Chris Duncan.
Moicano effectively controlled the first round, skillfully mixing his attacks and neutralizing Duncan’s lead leg strikes.
Early in the second round, just past the first minute, Moicano landed a significant right hand that dropped the Scottish fighter. Moicano quickly capitalized, taking Duncan’s back and immediately hunting for a rear-naked choke (RNC). Despite blood gushing from his nose, Duncan valiantly attempted to defend the hold as Moicano expertly locked in a body triangle to maintain his dominant position.
Moments later, Moicano successfully secured the RNC, tightening the submission and forcing Duncan to tap out.
The official result: Renato Moicano defeated Chris Duncan via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:14 of Round 2.
