Moicano Faces Nolan In UFC Vegas 123 Main Event

Renato Moicano takes on Tom Nolan in Saturday's UFC Vegas 123 main event at the Meta APEX, with the veteran lightweight looking to extend his momentum against a rising prospect.

The card arrives on the heels of UFC 333, which MMA Fighting called one of the promotion's best events of the year. Moicano brings experience and craft to the lightweight headliner, while Nolan enters on a streak after keeping his promise to Cory Sandhagen by earning his UFC contract with a knockout, per Sherdog.
