“I expected a good, explosive, well-rounded fighter,” UFC lightweight Moicano said. “I know he has good wins. He knocked Beneil Dariush out and he fought really good guys, so I expected that. But I feel like I could do more and I’m better than that. I could finish him in the first round, so I have to watch the fight again and see what I did wrong and try to correct for the next one.”
