After defeating Benoit St. Denis by doctor stoppage in the second round of the UFC Fight Night 243 headliner, Renato Carneiro revealed some of the behind-the-scenes details surrounding the bout.
In a video on his YouTube channel, “Moicano” began by discussing the nature of the shoulder injury he had going into the lightweight bout.
“First thing I have to say is that my shoulder was really injured. I suffered a ligament rupture . Actually it was a surgery case, but I had to fight in that main event, so I kept training every day and going every day to physiotherapy,” Carneiro said. “It was such a hard experience, but I couldn't give up because ‘Moicano’ can´t afford to lose.”’s complaints regarding the French Mixed Martial Arts Federation .
"I was there completely dehydrated. I had just made weight, and a guy from the committee arrived and simply said: 'Moicano, you were randomly selected to do a urine and blood test.’ But the next thing is, I was completely dehydrated. I had lost overnight. So I was really replacing the fluids, and they said the following: 'We don't have enough agents to test everyone, so you're going to have to stay in this room here.
"And so they left me waiting for four hours, until 2 p.m. Since at 4:30pm there was a weigh-in for the public, we had to move from the hotel to the arena to do the face-off. Meanwhile, from 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. in the morning, Benoit St. Denis and all the fighters were already in the room. And they had the nerve to say that this was random and that it wouldn't affect some more than others. Clearly I saw Brendan Allen and his coaches extremely angry.
The FMMAF stated that the anti-doping agency considered that there was no need to test the French at that time, but promised adjustments to avoid doubts and future complaints.Contender Series Weigh-in Results: All Fighters Hit Contracted Marks for Week 8Stephen Thompson Prepared for 'Three-Round War' vs.
