Mokaev is convinced he’s the best flyweight across mixed
martial arts.
Mokaev (17-0) continues to win titles outside the
Ultimate Fighting Championship since his controversial exit
from the promotion. He repeatedly campaigned for a UFC return while
picking up wins in MMA, submission grappling and Karate Combat.
Muhammad Mokaev explains why he believes he’s the world’s top
flyweight
When asked by Red Corner MMA whether he considers himself the best
125-pounder in the world, Mokaev reiterated his past claims. The
Dagestan-born Brit added that he’ll continue winning outside the
UFC after being denied a title shot in the premier
organization.
“I just know it,” Mokaev said. “I know they just didn’t give me a
chance to get the belt. I’ll keep collecting belts all over the
world and calling their fighters out.”
After leaving the UFC, he won the
Brave CF flyweight championship before adding the ACBJJ title
to his list of accolades. After winning the latter, “The Punisher”
sent a message to UFC CEO Dana
White.
“Dana said two years ago, ‘Become champion somewhere else.’ I
became Brave CF champion, ACBJJ champion, five fights, four
finishes, staying busy and showing the world why I’m the best
flyweight in the world,” Mokaev previously said in a video posted
on social media.
