Renato Moicano fought through an entire round of his main event victory at UFC Paris with a severely damaged shoulder.

The Brazilian revealed the extent of a horrible shoulder injury after what was arguably the biggest win in his UFC career over France’s Benoit Saint Denis.

The bout came to an end after round two, as Saint Denis failed to show the doctor that he could see out of his right eye.

Moicano had dominated the opening round, landing 36 significant strikes, which caused his opponent’s eye to completely shut.

Saint Denis, however, was able to fight back and went on to win the second round on each judge’s scorecard.

But the damage had already been done and the fight doctor was called in to check on the Frenchmen before waving off the fight as it would have been too dangerous to continue.

Just hours after Moiacno’s hand was raised in Paris, he shared images of an X-ray that showed how serious the injury was.

“I hurt my shoulder 3 weeks ago…but I couldn’t pull out of a main event…thank you [to] my team for helping me [in] training like that [and getting] me ready for the fight,” he said.

MMA fans noticed that Moicano had a slight bump above his right shoulder as he walked to the octagon before his fight with Saint Denis.

Then, in the second round, Moicano’s shoulder seemed to pop out of place, heightening any injury that he already picked up before the fight.

Fans reacted to the incredible toughness shown by the 35-year-old, who was contesting his 17th fight in Dana White’s promotion.

One user wrote: “That is ABSURD toughness. WOW.”

Saint Denis also had his own injuries to worry aboutGetty

A second said: “Wow wtf. Makes the win even more impressive.”

While a third added: “OMG this is insane…the incredible toughness of Moicano…”

After the fight, Moicano proceeded to call out Liverpool’s Paddy Pimblett, who has been on the hunt for a new opponent since his impressive victory over King Green at UFC Manchester in July.

He also mentioned UFC veteran Dan Hooker as someone who he would like to fight in the future.

“Next, I want easy money,” Moicano said in his post-fight octagon interview with British UFC legend Michael Bisping.

“Paddy Pimblett, easy money…Dan Hooker, easy money. Don’t come up with bulls*** fights…I want easy fights. 

“I just beat [a] hell of an athlete everybody was talking about, Benoit Saint Denis. But guess what? Money Moicano is the man tonight.”

It was Moicano’s fourth consecutive victory in the UFC as he moved up to the 11th-ranked lightweight fighter in the division.

Pimblett, who is ranked four places below him, has since responded to Moicano’s comments with an Instagram post that has the Brazilian tagged and states ‘Let’s do this’.
