It was heartbreak for Renato Moicano and Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 when both fell short of their championship aspirations.
For Moicano (20-6-1 MMA, 12-6 UFC), it was an unexpected opportunity after he was shifted up the card to challenge lightweight champion Islam Makhachev (27-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) for his belt at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., and the end result was a first-round submission loss.
In the co-main event, the heavily favored and highly touted Nurmagomedov (18-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) saw his perfect record come to an end with a unanimous decision loss to bantamweight kingpin Merab Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC).
What does the future hold for Moicano and Dvalishvili after their failed bids at UFC gold? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on their futures after UFC 311.
