Following his topsy-turvy year in combat sports, Muhammad Mokaev has been branded as a surefire candidate for the unwanted accolade at the most Disappointing Fighter of 2024 by a renowned mixed martial arts reporter, who claimed the UFC alum must take some responsibility of his current conundrum.
Mokaev, an unbeaten flyweight talent, made an unceremonious exit from the UFC back in July after completing his contractual obligations in a close, unanimous decision win over incoming headliner, Manel Kape in Manchester — where he improved to 14-0(1) as a professional fighter.
In the time since, the British flyweight star has returned to former stomping ground, Brave CF — and despite missing out on a fight with Luthando Brito, Mokaev would launch a dominant opening round D’Arce choke submission win over Joevincent So in a short-notice pairing.
