Muhammad Mokaev recently called out Amir Albazi for a fight while clapping back at the Iraq native for his tweet about Mokaev's change in management.

After spending some time with the Paradigm Sports agency, which also has Conor McGregor as a client, it seems the Dagestan-born Englishman is on the lookout for a new management team. He confirmed the news in a tweet.

However, it seems Albazi was not happy about this and hit out in a quote-tweet reply to Mokaev's response to a fan asking about his status with Paradigm Sports. The No.9-ranked flyweight wrote:

"You told everyone you have the best management on the planet, now you left them? Young man be careful what comes out of your mouth... Maybe if you stay humble good things may happen to you."

Muhammad Mokaev did not take kindly to this and savagely called Albazi out for a matchup at UFC London on March 18:

"Ok, little angry man let’s fight then... March 18th tell UFC that you’re ready. When fighters like you are scared, no manager will help!"

Paradigm Sports is owned and operated by Iraqi-American entrepreneur Audi Attar. The agency boasts a clientele that includes Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya, Jiri Prochazka and Leon Edwards, among many others.


Muhammad Mokaev reveals Matt Schnell turned down an offer to fight him at UFC London

Muhammad Mokaev recently tweeted out asking for an opponent to face him as he confirmed that Matt Schnell has declined the offer to face him. The Dagestan-born Englishman broke into the top 15 flyweight rankings when he defeated Malcolm Gordon via third-round submission at UFC 280 in October.

'The Punisher' seemed eager for his next challenge as he targeted a fight with No.8-ranked Schnell after previously having called out Kai Kara-France. Kara-France was then matched up against Alex Perez for the UFC 284 card in Australia but has since pulled out due to injury.

However, Mokaev confirmed that 'Danger' has turned down a bout against him. In a tweet replying to a post with his initial question about Matt Schnell being open for the London card, Muhammad Mokaev wrote:

"He said no yesterday, unfortunately. Please someone fight me! @ufc"

As one of the most exciting prospects in the flyweight division, Muhammad Mokaev currently boasts a perfect record of 9-0 in his pro-MMA career. While it remains to be seen who the 22-year-old faces next, Mokaev certainly promises to bring fireworks to the octagon.
