Brazilian UFC Star Renato Moicano Declares Love For America, The Constitution, The First Amendment & Guns

Published|Updated

UFC fighter Renato Moicano was born in Brazil, but he's all about American values.

After knocking out Jalin Turner at UFC 300 on Saturday night (his third-consecutive win), Moicano grabbed the mic for an epic victory speech.

"I love America. I love the Constitution. I love the First Amendment," Moicano told the fans in Las Vegas. "I want to carry and own f-cking guns. I love private property." 

Hell yeah, brother.

And then he gave the crowd some homework — a little reading material.

"And let me tell you something, if you care about your own f-cking country, Ludwig von Mises and the six lessons of the Austrian economic school, motherf-ckers," he said.

Feel free to fact check me, but I'm fairly certain that's the first time a UFC fighter stood in the octagon and recommended a book by a 19th century-born Austrian economist. Von Misis was a proponent of free markets and minimal government interference. He fled Nazi Germany for the U.S. in 1940 and was a professor at New York University.

Moicano has never been shy about his political beliefs. In a previous interview, the 34-year-old spoke out against government misuse of American tax dollars — citing work by economists Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. And keep in mind English is his second language.

"The government, they don't do good decisions with your money," Moicano said. "When I was a kid, I thought the government was the special people, was intelligent people, were people that deserve to be there. But at the end of the day, it's just a popularity contest."

Man, preach.

"I believe in a free market society. I believe in free market enterprise. I believe in the power of the individual to create and to change their destiny," Moicano continued.

"I hate taxes, and everybody hates taxes. And if you say, ‘I like taxes,’ you don't like taxes. You just want to pretend that you are a good person."

Look, I know Brazilians can't actually be president of the United States. But this guy has my vote.
