Henatu Moicano (35) of Brazil, who was completely defeated by "Korean zombie" Jung Chan-sung (37) of Brazil, has expressed his hope to face off with "BMF (Boy in Men) Champion" Max Holloway (33) of the U.S. Just like him, he expressed his desire to become the champion by beating Holloway, who has elevated himself from UFC featherweight to lightweight.

Moicano talked about his future plans in an interview with "MMA Fighting" on Tuesday (Korea time). In particular, he showed strong confidence in his showdown with Holloway. "I want to fight (Holloway). I'm done with the featherweight division now," Holloway said. "I think if Holloway really comes and fights me as a UFC lightweight, it's going to be a hell of a fight. Especially because the fight with Holloway will put me on the track for the title shot." 메이저사이트
He emphasized again that he is confident of winning against Holloway. "If I can beat Holloway, I can fight for the title 100 percent. I am 100 percent willing to win," he said. Moikano plans to beat Holloway, a former UFC featherweight champion, to gain the right to challenge the lightweight champion. Currently, Moikano is ranked 10th in the UFC lightweight division, and Holloway is ranked 5th.

Coincidentally, Moikano and Holloway played in the UFC featherweight division. They also had a showdown with "Korean Zombie" Jung Chan-sung. Moikano clashed with Jung Chan-sung at UFC Fight Night 154 in June 2019. In just 58 seconds, he lost by knockout. He struggled with Jung's amazing batting ability and took the loss. At that time, he was the powerhouse at the 5th place in the UFC featherweight division, but was blocked by 12th place Jung Chan-sung, so he gave up his dream of becoming a champion. Since then, he has elevated to the lightweight division and is making strides again.

Holloway, the former featherweight champion of the UFC, clashed with Jung Chan-sung at UFC Fight Night 225 in August 2023. They had a showdown with top-ranked UFC featherweight players. They showed one-level performance in batting competitions and secured knockout wins in the third round. They defeated Korean zombies after a fierce battle. After losing to Holloway, Jung announced his retirement.

Holloway, who gained momentum by defeating Jung Chan-sung, won the BMF title by overpowering Justin Gaichi at the UFC 300 in April this year. In the fifth round match, he won the "Buzzer Beater KO" with one second left before the end of the match. However, he failed to regain his featherweight title as he lost to Ilya Topuira at UFC 308 in October. After the match, he announced his intention to completely move to the UFC lightweight division and is raising the possibility of a showdown with strong players such as Moikano.
