Undefeated UFC star Muhammad Mokaev has hit back at a fan after the latter suggested that he's a 'boring' fighter. The fan took a shot at Mokaev's purported inability to secure stoppage victories during his MMA bouts.
Additionally, the fan indicated that since Mokaev's fights are boring and that neither he nor his opponent are likely to receive post-fight performance bonuses. The fan clearly has a bone to pick with the unbeaten UFC flyweight competitor, as evident from their tweet:
"You’re just boring bro. You can’t finish nobody. It takes the opportunity of a fight bonus"
Mokaev fired back at the fan by responding to the tweet. The 22-year-old implied that the fan was simply a casual follower of the sport of MMA. Furthermore, the grappling savant alluded to the fact that he's got three stoppage wins in the four UFC bouts he's competed in.
Born in Dagestan, Russia, Mokaev moved to the UK at a young age and proceeded to establish himself as a crafty grappler.
He let the fan know that his last fight witnessed him secure the most takedowns in UFC flyweight history. The fight, which transpired in March of this year, saw him stop Jafel Filho via third-round submission. On that note, addressing the fan who called him boring, Mokaev tweeted:
"I love these casuals 3 finishes out of 4 fights in the ufc 1 fight were decision which was most takedowns in the UFC flyweight history"
Could Muhammad Mokaev's next fight see him face a top-15 opponent?
Muhammad Mokaev boasts a professional MMA record of 10 victories, 0 defeats, and 1 NC (No Contest). Of his wins, 2 came via KO/TKO, 5 by way of submission, and 3 by decision. The freestyle wrestling veteran made his UFC debut in March 2022 and has amassed a 4-0 record in the organization thus far. Presently, Mokaev holds the No. 12 position in the official UFC flyweight rankings.
Widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in all of MMA today, Muhammad Mokaev has been touted by many as a future UFC champion. The UK-based fighter, for his part, has consistently maintained that he aims to capture the UFC flyweight title at the earliest.
The UFC hasn't officially announced Mokaev's next opponent and exact comeback date yet. Regardless, earlier this month, he took to Twitter to hint that his next fight could be against a top-15-ranked bantamweight at UFC 292 in Boston on August 19th, 2023. 'The Punisher' tweeted:
"Boston 📍 see you soon!"
