Renato Moicano secured a huge win last day at UFC 227. He submitted Cub Swanson in the first round of their fight and improved his winning streak to two.

Now, Moicano has his eyes set on Brian Ortega.

“I think Brian Ortega. Because my only loss is to Brian Ortega. I think Frankie Edgar has a fight. And (champ Max) Holloway can’t fight. (Jeremy) Stephens lost to Jose Aldo, so I think a good matchup is me and Ortega,” he said. (via MMA Junkie)

Ortega and Moicano had previously fought at UFC 214. At the event, Ortega came out on top via a third round submission. It was also the first loss in the professional career of Moicano.

After the loss to Ortega, Moicano secured a win over Calvin Kattar and got back to winning ways. Thanks to his win against Swanson, Moicano is now 12-1 in his career.
