"UFC officials announced the headlining bout during the UFC Houston broadcast. Moicano later issued video of himself reacting, with surprise, to the announcement. Given Moicano's status as a company man, it's likely the fight moves ahead, though it's another embarrassing hiccup for the UFC. Nor is it the first time the promotion has announced a fight prior to both parties signing."
"Assuming the fight does happen as planned, it finds Moicano (20-7-1) looking to bounce back from a pair of losses, albeit it with one coming against Islam Makhachev in a short-notice title fight early last year. After falling to Makhachev, Moicano dropped a decision to Beneil Dariush at UFC 317 in June. Scotland's Chris Duncan (15-2) has won four straight, most recently dispatching Terrance McKinney via Anaconda choke this past December."
The UFC announced Renato Moicano would headline UFC Vegas 115 against Chris Duncan on April 4, 2026 at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. Moicano reported that he had not signed a contract prior to the announcement and reacted with surprise. UFC officials revealed the matchup during the UFC Houston broadcast, and the promotion has previously announced fights before contracts were signed. Moicano enters at 20-7-1 after consecutive losses to Islam Makhachev and Beneil Dariush. Chris Duncan is 15-2 with four straight wins, including an Anaconda choke finish over Terrance McKinney in December. A full fight card was reported.
