Former unbeaten promotional cast off, Muhammad Mokaev has once more staked his claim for a return to the UFC later this year, claiming he is the sole flyweight in the world right now who possesses the ability to topple current champion, Alexandre Pantoja.
Mokaev, who made his second debut outing with Middle Eastern-based organization, Brave CF last year, turned in his fourteenth career win with a dominant first round D’Arce choke submission win over short-notice replacement, Joevincent So.
And in his final Octagon bout, Mokaev improved on his roughshod run through the flyweight division, taking home a hard-fought unanimous decision win over incoming headliner, Manel Kape at UFC 304 last summer.
