Two teammates will fight in the UFC Fight Night 272 main event.
American Top Team members Renato Moicano and Chris Duncan will throw down in a five-round bout April 4 at Meta APEX in Las Vegas, the promotion announced Saturday.
Moicano (20-7-1 MMA, 12-7 UFC) aims to snap a two-fight skid. Four straight wins and a last-second Arman Tsarukyan withdrawal landed him a title fight vs. Islam Makhachev in January 2025. However, Moicano was promptly submitted in Round 1. He returned in June and lost a unanimous decision to Beneil Dariush.
Duncan (15-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is on a roll with four straight victories including two performance-bonus showings against Bolaji Oki and Mateusz Rebecki. He most recently competed in December when he submitted Terrance McKinney in 2:30.
The updated UFC Fight Night 272 lineup includes:
- Renato Moicano vs. Chris Duncan
- Virna Jandiroba vs. Tabatha Ricci
- Edmen Shahbazyan vs. Jun Yong Park
- Hailey Cowan vs. Alice Pereira
- Alessandro Costa vs. Stewart Nicoll
