Muhammad Mokaev maintains he is world's top flyweight after UFC departure

Muhammad Mokaev asserts his status as the best 125-pound fighter in mixed martial arts following his exit from the UFC. Holding an undefeated 17-0 record, Mokaev continues to compete in other promotions, including victories in Brave CF and the ACBJJ circuit. The Dagestan-born fighter argues he was unfairly denied a title opportunity during his tenure with the UFC. Mokaev maintains an active schedule, accumulating five professional wins with four finishes over the past two years to bolster his claim. He plans to continue collecting championships in organizations outside the UFC while issuing public challenges to current fighters within that promotion. Mokaev intends to keep competing until he receives recognition as the top flyweight globally.
