Former UFC Flyweight Muhammad Mokayev recently became the highest paid fighter in the MMA, and he revealed his first fight under the now brave CF promotion.
Muhammad Mokayev announces his next battle
It was a surprise to everyone when Muhammad Mokayev was dropped by the UFC in July after Manchester’s biggest victory at UFC 304.
Despite being dropped to the biggest promotion of the sport, Mokaev has been moving forward with his career, and he recently reigned with Brave CF, who became the best paid flyweight fighter in the MMA.
After the announcement of the contract, Mokaev said:

“But of course my goal is going back to the UFC because it’s the number one promotion in the world right now.”
Mokaev hopes to rejoin the UFC in the future and even offers to fight for free under Dana White, but the UFC CEO has confronted his words and decided not to get Mokaev back.
“That’s what it is,” White said in Mokaev, cut in August.
“I’ve always said this, this is an opportunity to be here and perform in front of the whole world. He’s a guy who’s all wrong and got mad at these guys.
The “Punisher” was still unbeaten in the octagon after 12 battles, and his last two victories came by unanimous decision after three rounds.
The Russians now confirm their second debut for Brave CF, with fighters facing Lutan Doviko at Khalifa Sports City Arena in Bahrain on December 13th.
The victory over Biko next month could change the table for Mokaev, who is eager to return to the biggest promotion at MMA, but upset from his opponents could slow the process.
