UFC 326 lost one of its most important fights over the weekend as Brian Ortega was forced out with yet another injury.

The former featherweight тιтle contender was due to take on fan favorite Renato Moicano, who is looking to get back to winning ways after a difficult few years. It’s yet another backwards step for Ortega, who has lost five of his seven fights since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.

And despite the fact he won’t be stepping in the octagon with Moicano, Ortega wasn’t safe from the Brazilian’s unique brand of trash talk. The lightweight contender has penned a deeply personal diss track, which he performed on his podcast.

After hearing about the cancellation of his fight with Brian Ortega, Renato Moicano was rightly frustrated to lose out on a big name opportunity. The pair had appeared to be heading for the co-main event slot on pay-per-view, and now it remains unclear if he will fight at all.

In a video posted to his TikTok, Moicano posted a diss track in Portuguese where he mocked Ortega for yet another pullout. And he even went low by alluding to his ex-girlfriend Tracy Cortez and her recent fling with light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.

“It wasn’t just going to be Poatan [Pereira’s nickname] who was going to f— you,” one line said when translated to English. Another line noted that he was ‘going to get finished,’, and Moicano branded him a ‘beta’.

The song finished with Moicano insisting that he would have ‘beaten up’ Ortega, before he chanted Pereira’s famous catchphrase ‘chama’ multiple times.

If Moicano wants to stay on the card, he has been publicly called out by one rising prospect who is willing to step up with around five weeks to train. According to his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, Esteban Ribovics has agreed to step in and fight Moicano in Las Vegas on March 7.

The information was reported by MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin, and such a fight would be a different type of challenge for the more experienced Moicano. Ribovics is 15-2, with his sole loss since 2023 coming by way of a highly contentious split decision against Nasrat Haqparast.
