Renato Carneiro recently revealed how he got his nickname.
"I used to use the mohawk and Moicano means mohawk so when I started to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they used to give nicknames to everybody, and then they started to call me Moicano because of the hair"…
Carneiro says “Moicano” is not his real name, although that is a popular misconception in the mixed martial arts world. According to the Brazilian, “Moicano” translates to mohawk, the hairstyle he was sporting when he started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu as a kid. Since it was tradition to give everyone nicknames in BJJ, Carneiro got “Moicano” based on his hairdo. And it has stuck with him to the point where his father also refers to him by the same moniker.
“Everybody thinks . But this is my nickname,” Carneiro recently told Home of Fight. “I used to use the mohawk: ‘Moicano’ means mohawk. So when I started to train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, they used to give nicknames to everybody. And then they started to call me ‘Moicano’ because of the hair. But I was like 10 or 11, so since then people just call me ‘Moicano.’ Even my father.”this past April. Turner attempted to walk off without the fight being stopped, after dropping Carneiro early on.
