Amid the exit of promotional-perfect flyweight contender, Muhammad Mokaev from the UFC off the back of last weekend’s win over Manel Kape, former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor has praised organizational brass for parting ways with the surging prospect.
Mokaev, who returned on the preliminary card of UFC 304 over the course of last weekend in Manchester, turned in a close, unanimous decision win over Angolan-born contender, Kape over the course of three rounds in the pair’s heated grudge match at the Co-op Live Arena.
And after his win over Kape, surging flyweight contender, Mokaev, who was on the cusp of a championship charge at 125lbs, confirmed he had fought out his contract with the promotion – before UFC CEO, Dana White revealed he would not be resigned.
