The release of Muhammad Mokaev left fans and analysts alike stunned, despite his undefeated record.
With a 7-0 record, the second-longest winning streak of any flyweight in UFC history, analysts believed that Mokaev was on the path to a shot at the flyweight title.
The news of the release was even more surprising considering the positive factors.
Following his departure from the UFC, Mokaev migrated to the BRAVE Combat Federation where he has found some success and will begin exploring a new opportunity.
Mokaev recently announced his debut in Karate Combat, scheduled for May 2 in Dubai.
