Moicano stepped in on short notice to keep Makhachev on the pay-per-view card, earning himself another major fight opportunity in the process.
One potential opponent for Moicano could be Beneil Dariush, a top lightweight contender with whom he was originally scheduled to fight before the last-minute switch on the card.
Another intriguing matchup could be against Dustin Poirier, a former title challenger coming off a loss to Islam Makhachev, offering the winner a chance to get back in title contention.
Moicano also has history with British star Paddy Pimblett, and a fight between the two rising stars could be a big draw in 2025.
Regardless of his next opponent, Moicano's willingness to take on challenges could lead to exciting matchups and further establish his name in the lightweight division.
