Mokaev said who he will be rooting for in the Pantoja - Erceg fight

Muhammad Mokaev, a British fighter in the UFC's lightest division, has revealed who he will be rooting for in the title fight between featherweight champion Alexandre Pantoja and challenger Steve Erceg.

"I really want Erceg to win this fight. I think he has a better jab than Pantoja. Alesandre is just a dog with jiu-jitsu technique. I don't see him as anything special," Mokaev wrote on social media.

The confrontation between Pantoja and Erceg will take place on the night of May 5 in Rio de Janeiro and will headline the UFC 301 numbered event. In the co-main event of that event, former featherweight champion Jose Aldo will fight Jonathan Martinez.
