Mokayev made it clear that he had nothing to do with Russia

Undefeated UFC lightweight prospect Muhammad Mokayev has revealed which countries he represents in the octagon.

On the night of March 3 at UFC Fight Night 238 in Las Vegas, the Dagestani-born Brit defeated American Alex Perez by unanimous decision of the judges.

"I want to thank my team, the royal family of Bahrain, who support me, my camp, my coaches. I represent Dagestan and the UK.

I never divide people into nations. I have never had people in my circle who separate others based on race. We treat people either well or badly. I just wanted to make this clear, because a lot of interesting things are happening in the world now," Mokayev said at a press conference.
