Renato Moicano vs. Tom Nolan: what is at stake
The UFC ranks Moicano No. 12 at lightweight and Nolan No. 14. Moicano was first booked against Brian Ortega, and Nolan took the slot after that fight fell through in September.
Moicano (21-7-1) submitted Chris Duncan in the second round in April, which ended a two-fight skid against Islam Makhachev and Beneil Dariush. Before that he beat Benoît Saint Denis and Jalin Turner. Submissions account for more than half of his wins.
Nolan (11-1) is 26 and has won five straight since losing his UFC debut. The Australian stands 190 cm to Moicano's 180, and his last win was a unanimous decision over Farès Ziam in June, the best result of his career so far. His streak also includes first-round finishes of Charlie Campbell and Victor Martinez.
The UFC's event page has Moicano as a narrow favorite at -125, with Nolan at +105. The fight comes down to Moicano's grappling and experience over 25 minutes against Nolan's size and youth.
Co-main event: Randy Brown vs. Jacobe Smith
Jacobe Smith (13-0) is fighting for the second time in four weeks. He stopped Bruce Whitehead in the first round at UFC 332 on 3 October, then took this fight on less than two weeks' notice after Carlos Leal came off the card. All four of his UFC wins are finishes.
Randy Brown (20-8) is the toughest test of Smith's UFC run. He has lost two straight, to Gabriel Bonfim and Kevin Holland, but he has knockouts of Nicolas Dalby and Muslim Salikhov on his record.
Other fights to watch on the card
Yana Santos vs. Luana Santos. Both women have won three in a row, in a division waiting on Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes at UFC 334. The UFC says Luana sits at No. 4 in its Meta rankings, and Yana's streak includes a win over Miesha Tate. The two are not related.
Lucia Szabova vs. Tainara Lisboa. The former OKTAGON bantamweight and flyweight champion from Slovakia opens the night with her UFC debut. The UFC lists her at 10-0 with seven finishes. Other outlets list 12-0, which is worth knowing if you are checking her record.
Mickey Gall vs. Zachary Reese. Gall has not fought since November 2024 and has lost four straight. Reese has dropped his last two.
Julian Erosa vs. JeongYeong Lee. Erosa (31-13) has gone the distance just once in his last seven fights. Lee, who entered the UFC by winning the first season of Road to UFC, is looking to restart a career slowed by cancellations.
The next UFC card is UFC Fight Night: Cortes-Acosta vs. Walker on 7 November. Live results and updated fighter records for this one are on the Moicano vs. Nolan event page.
