Renato 'Moicano' Carneiro Can't Afford to Lose Despite Having Fought for the Title
"Still no. Last fight I could afford to lose, because [it] was a short notice [fight] and I got [a] flat purse. Now I have to fight back [for] my double checks. I'm not f*--ng losing."
"Easy money brother, I'm going over there, putting him on the ground, finishing him. Easy money... I want easy fights."
Renato "Money Moicano" Carneiro reflects on the shift in his fight approach following a loss to Islam Makhachev, which he qualified as an acceptable outcome due to the nature of the short-notice arrangement and receiving a flat purse of $250,000. As he prepares for UFC 317 against Beneil Dariush, Carneiro stresses his financial responsibilities with a growing family and a different purse structure, emphasizing the importance of securing a win. He remains confident, predicting a stoppage victory, while still desiring easier fights in the future.
