Muhammad Mokaev, a British fighter in the UFC's lightest division, compared himself to the organization's former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"What's next? The matchmaker wasn't happy with my style after my last fight. What style do they want to see? So I don't know. All I have to do is train and beat anyone they give me. They can hold me down, but they can't stop me. It was the same with Khabib, same situation. Sooner or later I will take the belt. My team is talking about it, even Pantoja himself called me a future star. They all know that I am here seriously and for a long time," Mokaev told TNT Sports.
