Muhammad Mokaev announces surprising next movement after shock UFC Axing
After his UFC-Axing, Mokaev returned to the promotion where he started his MMA career, Brave CF, who scored a first round retention victory last December.
Since he was cut out of the UFC, 'The Punisher' has made it clear that he would ever want to return to the UFC to fulfill his highly promoted inheritance after he had previously hoped to be the youngest UFC champion ever, who took Jon Jones's record.
The 24-year-old, however, probably still has much convincing to do if he has to be signed again by the promotion.
Although, last Wednesday, Mokaev announced that his next fight will take place on 2 May in Dubai on KC54 in Karate Combat.
“My very first sport was karate, then I moved to wrestling. I just want to compete and stay active and build up my striking experience. I will always have plan B that is struggling, but I have to work on plan A,” Mokaev revealed in a post on X.

UFC -star hits Muhammad Mokaev for the main event of UFC Mexico City
Since the Mokaev shock of the UFC has been cut, Steve Erceg has become one of the most popular contenders at 125 pounds.
The coming Saturday 'Astroboy' will take on former champion, Brandon Moreno, in the main event of UFC Mexico City, hoping to return to winning manners and possibly back in the title.
Before his big fight, ERCEG beat Mokaev for his behavior during his time in the UFC, so that he has labeled a 'privileged diva'.
“I didn't like the road (Muhammad Mokaev) had an interaction with people around him, and he has sent me a message since then,” Erceg said the Ariel Helwani show.
“I think more and more that he is a huge K – he seemed like a privileged diva … It was surprising because you would think that someone grew up as he grew up a little more modest … He just seemed like a shower … I would like to walk around him,” Erceg continued.
