In steps the opponent, Renato ‘Money’ Moicano, a man that is also slowly doing his own thing, becoming a star in the lightweight division as well,” Bisping continued. “Saint Denis is going to be extra violent because he’s in Paris. … Renato Moicano, even though he’s really good, and he’s really skilled, and he’s got great jiu-jitsu, and he’s very confident, and he’s good with the fists, has got no idea what he is stepping into.

UFC Picks

UFC betting odds have Saint Denis listed as almost a 3-1 favorite. I know Saint Denis will have the crowd behind him and he is an exciting young fighter, but I am not laying that type of price against Moicano. This fight is scheduled for five rounds, but I can’t see it lasting that long. Both of these fighters are looking for a quick positional advantage and getting a submission win. I’ll go under the 2.5 rounds as the top UFC pick for this fight.
