Alex Perez, an American UFC fighter, explained why lightweight prospect Muhammad Mokaev has yet to get a chance to fight for the championship belt. According to Perez, it's all about Mokaev not looking too convincing in his recent fights.
"If you look at the resume, Mokaev has had tougher opponents than Erceg. He's been in the UFC longer and fought against Tim Elliott and beat me. But in our sport, it's your form in your last fight that decides everything. Steve Erceg looked great in his last fights," MMA Junkie quotes Perez as saying.
Recall that the next opponent of the current UFC lightweight champion Alesandre Pantoja will be Steve Erceg.
