Fans were shocked. Was it Duncan vs. Duncan? How could a fighter face himself? Thankfully, it turned out to be a simple social media gaffe. The culprit appeared to be Dana White or his team. The UFC CEO’s now-deleted X post, in which he referred to Renato Moicano as “Duncan,” confusing him with Chris Duncan – Moicano’s scheduled opponent at UFC Fight Night – has put him under intense scrutiny.
Many fans promptly took to their keyboards, slamming Dana White and his team for a blunder that could have been avoided. In light of recent issues, including legal battles, business shifts, and widely publicized differences with some of the promotion’s biggest names, UFC management was already under fire. This latest instance, where they seemingly mixed up the names of a leading divisional contender, only added to lingering doubts about whether White & Co. still approach the UFC with the same level of seriousness.
“Yeah, Dana White has fully checked out 
,” wrote Fight News account ACD MMA.
Similar sentiments were echoed by sports broadcaster Ben Davies, who shared a screenshot of Dana White’s post that read, “Duncan has arrived to the Meta Apex!!” The image, however, showed Renato Moicano, not Chris Duncan.
As of this writing, Moicano secured a victory via a second-round rear-naked choke. The Brazilian bounced back after two consecutive losses, including one against champion Islam Makhachev.
