Former UFC flyweight contender, Muhammad Mokaev has claimed he is the “highest-paid” flyweight fighter across the mixed martial arts world right now, having recently inked terms to return to his former stomping ground with Middle East-based organization, Brave CF.
Mokaev, a former top contender under the banner of the UFC, departed the Dana White-led promotion earlier this summer, despite riding an unbeaten run of seven straight wins, capped off by a close unanimous decision win over Manel Kape at UFC 304 in Manchester.
And recently inking a new deal with Bahrain-based promotion, Brave CF earlier this summer to make his return to mixed martial arts competition — amid continued links to both transitions to the PFL (Professional Fighters League) and Bellator MMA, Mokaev claims he is now the most well-paid flyweight combatant in mixed martial arts.
