Muhammad Mokaev is getting a quick turnaround. The undefeated Dagestani-born Brit has been booked to fight Malcolm Gordon at UFC 280 on October 22.
Mokaev was in the Octagon just two weeks ago, where he dominated Charles Johnson on route to a unanimous decision victory. That was Mokaev’s second win in the UFC. The youngster made his promotional debut in March, beating Cody Durden by first round submission.
Those two UFC wins advanced Mokaev’s pro record to 7-0. Prior to joining the UFC he was a main carder with the Bahrain-based outfit BRAVE CF.
Gordon is 14-5 on his career.
