Muhammad Mokaev Is Ready For His Full-Circle Moment At UFC 304
Eight Years After Watching UFC 204 From The Stands At The MEN Arena, Muhammad Mokaev Returns To Manchester, This Time As A Bonafide UFC Contender
Eight years is a long time in sport, and it's been time well spent by Muhammad Mokaev.
Back in October 2016, as a 16-year-old, Mokaev sat in the stands at the MEN Arena in Manchester to watch Michael Bisping defend his UFC middleweight title against Dan Henderson. Now, 100 pay-per-view events later, Mokaev has returned to the city for a UFC event, but this time he's set to play a starring role.
"It feels amazing," he told UFC.com during a fight week conversation ahead of his bout with Manel Kape at UFC 304 this weekend.
