May Muhammad Mokaev be UFC-bound once more?
With final night time’s victory, Muhammad Mokaev progressed to 4-0 since leaving the UFC, together with a victory in Karate Fight. To say that he can do all of it is an understatement.
He averaged 5.29 takedowns per quarter-hour throughout his UFC profession, however final night time confirmed that he’s simply as harmful on the ft as he’s within the wrestling realm.
In his post-fight speech, the assured 25 yr previous declared that he’s “one of the best flyweight on the earth, number one”. It’s a daring declare, particularly when Alexandre Pantoja remains to be dominating at 35 years previous within the UFC.
Many wished Mokaev to be the person to problem Pantoja after they have been each within the UFC, however as Mokaev was supposedly troublesome to work with, the combat by no means materialised and Mokaev was relieved of his UFC duties. It’s a disgrace that we haven’t seen that combat as Mokaev would supply Pantoja with a totally totally different puzzle to 1 he’s seen earlier than.
Ought to the UFC re-sign Mokaev to ship sparks into the flyweight division? In the event that they do, it is probably not what’s subsequent for Mokaev, who has his eyes set on BRAVE CF’s bantamweight champion, Borislav Nikolic.
Nikolic defeated Moakev’s teammate, Hamza Kooheji, in the principle occasion of BRAVE CF 100, creating the chance for a champ vs champ combat sooner or later.
Will or not it’s the UFC or will or not it’s Nikolic subsequent for Muhammad Mokaev? Tell us what you assume within the feedback!
