Muhammad Mokaev (13-0, 1 NC) last competed at UFC 304, where he picked up the victory over Manel Kape (19-7) via unanimous decision. It was Mokaev’s final fight under his UFC contract. Dana White announced that they have decided not to re-sign the undefeated flyweight.
On Saturday, MMA Fighting reported that Muhammad Mokaev has re-signed with the Brave Combat Federation. The promotion issued the following statement:
“There has been an unjust persecution of his character and attempts to use defamation to feed personal vendettas, and is evidently clear that there are no clear reasons as to why the best athlete in the world cannot compete. This is not what the sport is all about, and for BRAVE CF to have him back is fantastic, and he now can become a voice for all these challenges. Not only that, his return solidifies our ethos to have the best fight the best irrespective of any other variable, be it of creed, sex, color or marketability. We would like to welcome back Muhammad Mokaev, an undefeated superstar, who is an amateur legend, with two IMMAF world titles, and someone who has proven to be the best Flyweight in the world, with no losses to his amateur or professional record. This is a very exciting time for Brave CF.”
Recently, Mokaev was involved in a car crash.
