Moicano continued competing successfully by submitting Chris Duncan in the UFC Fight Night 272 main event. He also built a career transition plan through a successful YouTube channel and used humor to create a new MMA promotion. Money Moicano MMA took place in São Paulo at Cornerman Academy with 10 amateur fights. The event featured a dwarf announcer, amateur fights registered on his channel, ring girls who removed clothing as the audience grew, and appearances by Demian Maia, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Jean Silva, and Marcos da Matta. Without UFC competition, the YouTube broadcast averaged 40,000 viewers, peaked at 62,000, and reached 550,000 views within 24 hours. The opening video used Brazilian funk and images of recent opponents to set the tone.
"Moicano took another step towards this successful transition. He once again used his well-known sense of humor to innovate and achieve success, this time as the promoter of Money Moicano MMA, an event with 10 MMA fights held in São Paulo last Saturday at the Cornerman Academy. With a dwarf as the announcer, fights between amateurs registered on his channel, ring girls who stripped as the audience increased, and the broadcast presence of greats like Demian Maia, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Jean Silva and Marcos da Matta, Moicano had fun and entertained the audience, guaranteeing the success of his debut event."
"Without the competition from the UFC on Saturday, Moicano achieved excellent numbers. During the five hours of transmission on his YouTube channel, the event averaged 40,000 viewers, reaching peaks of 62,000 and achieving 550,000 views in 24 hours on air. The opening video of the broadcast gave the viewer an idea of what was to come. It began with Carneiro dancing to the rhythm of Brazilian funk alongside images of his most recent opponents - Islam Makhachev, Beneil Dariush and Benoit St. Denis."
"As far as MMA goes, the 37-year-old Moicano showed he still has plenty of fight left in him on April 4 by submitting American Top Team training partner Chris Duncan in the main event of UFC Fight Night 272. Thanks to the resounding success of his YouTube channel, the ATT athlete already has an excellent career transition guaranteed when he decides to retire. Last Saturday, almost a month after being awarded best influencer in Brasilia at the Brazilian internet Oscars (iBEST), Moicano took another step towards this successful transition."
