Big changes are shaking up the UFC 311 main event. Arman Tsarukyan has been forced to withdraw from his lightweight title fight against champion Islam Makhachev due to a serious back injury. This news comes as a major blow to fans who were eager to see Tsarukyan challenge for the belt after his dominant rise through the division.
Replacing Tsarukyan on short notice is Renato Moicano, who has officially stepped up to face Makhachev. Moicano, known for his slick jiu-jitsu and aggressive striking, has been campaigning for big fights, and this opportunity could define his career.
The UFC lightweight division remains one of the most stacked and unpredictable, and this matchup will test both fighters in new ways. While Makhachev has already proven himself as a dominant champion, Moicano’s fearless approach and high-risk, high-reward style make him a dangerous underdog.
