Despite his unanimous decision win over bitter-enemy, Manel Kape at UFC 304 overnight, unbeaten flyweight star, Muhammad Mokaev is stunningly set to receive his walking papers from the promotion, according to CEO, Dana White.
Mokaev, who improved to 13-0(1) as a professional overnight, turned in his seventh straight Octagon victory in a close, unanimous judging win over Kape in the pair’s grudge fight title-eliminator in Manchester.
Battling back-and-forth with the Angolan-born fighter following a public spat during fight week which included a mass brawl at the fighter hotel, as well as the cancelling of a ceremonial weigh in face off, Mokaev landed a win over the former – however, received criticizm for his gunshy performance, as well as a slew of fouls committed.
