Renato Moicano showcased his prowess once again at UFC 300, securing a second-round TKO victory over Jalin Turner on the early preliminary card. Following his impressive win, the No.13-ranked lightweight took the opportunity to deliver a passionate post-fight speech, expressing his admiration for private property and advocating for economic education:
“I love private property, and let me tell you something if you care about your f-ing country, read Ludwig Von Mises and the 6 lessons of the Austrian Economic School, motherf-ers!”

The footage of Moicano’s speech was shared by Bitcoin Rapid-Fire podcast host John Vallis, prompting renowned psychologist and author Jordan Peterson to respond with enthusiasm:
“This is unspeakably great.”
Peterson further remarked on the curious juxtapositions of modern culture, highlighting Moicano’s unexpected foray into economic philosophy:
“What a world. The satirists are Christian; the left shills for Big Pharma; and the deadly boxers have become profound economic philosophers.”
Moicano, thrilled by Peterson’s acknowledgment, expressed his gratitude:
“I can not believe Jordan Peterson the man himself retweeted this!!! Thank you so much doctor Peterson 🫡”
He continued to reflect on the surreal nature of the moment:
“What a f-ing world.”
Moicano’s post-fight speeches have garnered attention since his victory at UFC 281, where he advocated for increased compensation. His subsequent victory over Drew Dober at UFC Fight Night 235 saw him express his love for the United States and his aspiration to become a citizen.
Regarding his recent fight with Turner, Moicano addressed his opponent’s surprising decision to walk away after dropping him in the first round. Moicano speculated that Turner may have been hesitant to engage on the ground due to fear of his jiu-jitsu skills:
“The joke is on him… I think he was scared of my jiu-jitsu, my brother. He knows that if he jumped [in my guard], he would get submitted… He’s good and I knew that the range would be a hard aspect of the fight because he’s like 6’3… He has a lot of power, a very good striker. I’m just better than him and I proved [that] today.”
While Turner has not commented on his actions, there have been suggestions that his decision may have been influenced by the pursuit of the $300,000 bonus. Moicano later asserted his worthiness of a bonus, citing his ability to overcome adversity during the fight.
