‘Money' Challenges Chandler To A Loser-Retires Fight
Photo byfor Fanatics Just over a week has passed since former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight title challenger Renato Moicano suffered a unanimous decision loss to Beneil Dariush at UFC 317, but he's already targeting his next opponent: fellow 155-pound title challenger Michael Chandler. Advertisement 'Man, I'll be completely honest with you, the oldest guy in the division, brother. 'Michael Chandler,' Moicano said when asked who he wants to fight next. 'I think that fight makes a lot of sense, and there isn't a better time. I've been talking shit for about Michael Chander for so long and if I lose to him, I'll have to kill myself.' Suicide is clearly an extreme statement, so Moicano's co-host proposed an alternative: a loser-retires fight (sound familiar?). 'Money' loved the idea. '100%,' Moicano said. 'Sign the contract.' From a rankings perspective, a Moicano-Chandler bout aligns well, with Moicano at No. 12 and Chandler at No. 13, despite some fighters calling for Chandler's removal from the rankings. The matchup also carries extra intrigue, as the two train at rival Florida gyms: American Top Team and Kill Cliff FC. Advertisement Moicano (20-7-1) is now on his first two-fight losing streak since transitioning to Lightweight. His previous bout saw him face Islam Makhachev on just one day's notice, resulting in a first round submission loss (watch highlights). Chandler (23-10) is on a three-fight losing skid, most recently getting stopped in the third by Paddy Pimblett via TKO (watch highlights). More from

GVN Exclusive: Cover & Pages From Ahoy Comics' Toxie Team-Up #2 By Stuart Moore & Ryan Kelly
The Toxic Avenger When Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman first released their 1984 film The Toxic Avenger, it was received with mixed reviews. However, over time, their story about a picked-on nerd who becomes a mutated superhero after falling into a drum of toxic waste evolved into a cult classic and a media franchise. From film to television, to animated shows, video games, and even a musical. The Toxic Avenger – Ahoy Style So, it came as no surprise when the talented and humor-laden creators at Ahoy Comics brought the character to their pages in 2024, under the creative guidance of Matt Bors and Fred Harper. Now, Ahoy is teaming up 'Toxie' with some of its fan-favorite AHOY titles in what can only be described as classic Ahoy. The characters include Jesus Christ (from Russell and Pace's controversial work, 'SECOND COMING'), Acid Chimp (from Russell, Bryce Ingman, and Peter Krause's absurdly hilarious comic, 'MY BAD'), Dragonflyman and Stinger (from Tom Peyer and Jamal Igle's multiversal saga, 'THE WRONG EARTH'), as well as Swamp Cop and Schitt (from Bors and Ben Clarkson's satirical hit, 'JUSTICE WARRIORS'). Exclusive Page Reveal For Issue# 2, Toxie teams up with the Jersey Devil (from the creature-packed anthology 'PROJECT: CRYPTID'). Now, thanks to the team at Ahoy Comics, Creators Stuart Moore and Ryan Kelly, and artist Rob Steen, we are proud to offer these exclusive cover and page reveals, along with an exclusive trading card by Rob Steen (included with Cover C by Fred Harper – not shown…there has to be SOME surprises).
