Renato Moicano Expresses Frustration Following Second Cancellation of Brian Ortega Bout
Renato Moicano has voiced his frustration after his fight with Brian Ortega was cancelled for the second time, leading to his rebooking against Tom Nolan at UFC 331.
Renato Moicano has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction after his long-awaited matchup against Brian Ortega was removed from the UFC 331 card. The bout, which was set to take place in Los Angeles on September 19, marks the second time the contest has failed to materialize between the two lightweights. The fighters were initially scheduled to meet at UFC 326 in March 2026, but that encounter was scrapped after Ortega withdrew due to undisclosed injuries. Moicano reportedly characterized the matchup as a favorable one, expressing clear frustration that he will not have the opportunity to compete against Ortega as originally planned. Following the latest cancellation, the UFC has moved quickly to adjust the card, rebooking Moicano against Tom Nolan. The repeated scheduling issues have disrupted Moicano's preparation cycle, though he remains active on the roster as he pivots to a new opponent for the upcoming event.
