Manel Kape, a fighter in the UFC's lightest division, has spoken disparagingly about his next opponent, Muhammad Mokaev.
"Pantoja can tell a lot of things about Mokaev as they trained together. I know that Pantoja gave a lot of receptions to Mokaev. Muhammad was often knocked around giving up. That's why Mokaev doesn't train with American Top Team anymore. He has tons of mistakes, he has tons of problems. If he faces a top-3 ranked fighter in the lightweight rankings, he's going to get finished. So it's going to be fun," MMA News quoted Kape as saying.
