Expect plenty of promotion from Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the lead-up to Makhmud Muradov’s Octagon debut, as it was just announced that the Mayweather Promotions fighter has signed with the UFC.
Muradov (22-6), who is the only MMA fighter to be promoted by Mayweather, is on an eleven-fight win streak and has finished all but two of those bouts via TKO/KO. The 29-year-old, Uzbekistan-based fighter competes at 185-pounds and hasn’t lost a fight in almost three years.
Mayweather, who is widely considered one of, if not the, greatest boxers of all time, hailed Muradov ‘the best MMA fighter in the world’.
