Renato 'Moicano' Calls Out Dan Hooker, Beneil Dariush After Victory Over Drew Dober

Renato Carneiro is aiming high after his win over Drew Dober at UFC Fight Night 235.

“Moicano” showed immense grit in enduring Dober’s damaging strikes and went on to outwrestle his opponent over three rounds to earn a unanimous decision win in Saturday’s lightweight co-main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. “Moicano” followed that victory with yet another entertaining post-fight interview, which have now become the Brazilian’s signature.

Carneiro was subsequently taken to the local hospital for a precautionary CT scan of his head and face, the results of which are currently unknown. While on the ambulance, “Moicano” went live on his YouTube channel to talk to fans, also calling out a next potential opponent in Dan Hooker.

“Moicano” called Hooker an easy-fight leading up to his clash against Dober and rallied for a booking against “The Hangman” at UFC 301 in Brazil.

“Dan Hooker is in trouble,” Carneiro said. “I want to beat Dan Hooker in Brazil, my brother.”

Moicano then shifted focus to perennial lightweight contender Beneil Dariush.

“[Beneil] Dariush see you in Brazil… if you support America… retweet this sh-t and tag [UFC] modaf—kers,” he wrote on X.

Benil Dariush see you in Brazil… if you support Merica… retweet this shit and tag @ufc modafukers

Carneiro is on a two-fight winning streak and has won four of his last five overall in UFC competition. Hooker is a coming off consecutive wins over Claudio Puelles and Jalin Turner, while Dariush has suffered back-to-back first-round knockout losses.
