UFC lightweight division fighter Steve Erceg commented on Muhammad Mokaev's dismissal from the promotion.
"His strike is a sneak attack by Manela Kape..... The way he treats people seems like a display of cowardice. He's a bit arrogant and thinks he's very important. I observed that when I fought him in the same card, by the way he treats his diet team and stuff like that," Erceg said in a release on MiddleEasy's YouTube channel.
