Manchester Top Team's Mokaev started UFC four months ago with an amazing 58-second submission against Cody Durden.

He also extended his record to an almost perfect 8-0-1, with a unanimous victory over American Johnson before a large crowd.

Johnson was put on the back foot by Mokaev, and he was free to flow with his punches.

The left hook rattled the American's face and forced him to retreat early doors.

He soon took to Mokaev's double underhooks, and he was soon able to take him for a ride.

Johnson was able to get back on his feet several times during the round, despite being forced to stop by the refugee.

Johnson was almost beaten by Mokaev's big head kick in the second half, but he narrowly missed the target.

After Johnson's perfect teep, the Brit found himself briefly on the canvas.

He was able to get back on his feet and secure a takedown. He continued his grappling efforts until the last second.

Johnson was more successful in the third, where he briefly managed to walk down youngster & land body kicks.

As in previous stanzas he could not resist the relentless top pressure and wrestling for the remainder.

The contest was judged by all three judges in the same manner, with young Mokaev scoring 30-27 points.
