Gilbert Burns claims Renato Moicano is "blowing" up his relationship with fellow fighters

UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns has been a regular fixture on Renato Moicano's Show Me The Money podcast.

Moicano's unabashed views have certainly rubbed a few fighters the wrong way, and Burns acknowledged this during the UFC Vegas 97 pre-fight media scrum. He said:

“Moicano is a character, that guy is funny. I have great relationships with so many fighters and he’s kinda blowing that up a little bit you know… I'm like, 'Why are you saying about this guy like this?' He gets me in a weird place. But I like it, it's funny."

Moicano is set to take on Benoit Saint Denis on Sept. 28 at UFC Paris, the promotion's third visit to the city. The Brazilian has already registered two wins this year, a unanimous decision victory over Drew Dober in February, and a TKO triumph over Jalin Turner in April.
