Mokaev's UFC Dream
Muhammad Mokaev, the Russian-born Brit, entered the UFC with dreams of becoming the youngest champion in the promotion's history. This record was previously held by Jon Jones, who clinched the title at 23.
Crushing Realization
Despite his determination and skill, Mokaev's pursuit of breaking the record has hit a roadblock due to a knee injury and lack of opponents willing to fight him. His hopes were officially dashed recently.
Disappointment with Fight Booking
Mokaev expressed frustration at the UFC's decision to book Alexandre Pantoja vs. Steve Erceg for the flyweight title, questioning why he was overlooked despite his impressive win streak and performance history.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Mokaev is eyeing a fight with Brandon Royval to secure a title shot. He is determined to deliver a spectacular finish in his next fight to prove his worth for a championship opportunity.
