Mokaev, an unbeaten flyweight expertise, made an unceremonious exit from the UFC again in July after finishing his contractual obligations in a detailed, unanimous determination win over incoming headliner, Manel Kape in Manchester — the place he improved to 14-0(1) as an expert fighter.
Within the time since, the British flyweight star has returned to former stomping floor, Courageous CF — and regardless of lacking out on a combat with Luthando Brito, Mokaev would launch a dominant opening spherical D’Arce choke submission win over Joevincent So in a short-notice pairing.
Muhammad Mokaev branded Most Disappointing Fighter of 2024
Additionally dropping one other short-notice outing, this time in submission grappling competitors in opposition to one other UFC veteran, Rogerio Bontorin, given his meteoric rise and subsequent litany of points inside the game this yr, Muhammad Mokaev has been named as essentially the most disappointing combatant to strap on gloves this alum.
“I think you have to put Muhammad Mokaev as the most disappointing fighter, just because he should be fighting for the title, and he’s not,” James Lynch mentioned throughout a latest video. “He’s in another organization, and I think he’s partially to blame for this. I know the UFC has, sort of, like I said, an idea of who they want in their organization, but, uh, he has to be the most disappointing if you wanted to just stick with fighters in the UFC.”
Clearly greater than happy to resign Mokaev to a multi-fight deal, Courageous CF launched a press launch within the weeks earlier than his second debut with the Bahrain-based promotion, describing him as a “bona fide star”.
“This renewed wave of interest reaffirms Mokaev’s position as a bona fide star in the Flyweight division. Beyond his undefeated record, Mokaev’s appeal lies in his magnetic personality, confidence, technical exuberance, and knack for staying in the spotlight. His ability to generate significant fan and media interest, speaks volumes about his position in the picture of the Flyweight division globally.”
