Muhammad Mokaev

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.

Myanmar mixed martial arts fighter Joshua Wan, who competes in the UFC's lightweight division, has responded sharply to a challenge issued to him by British Muhammad Mokaev.

Mokaev had previously offered Wang a fight on June 22 at the promotion's debut event in Saudi Arabia.

"Mokaev, shut your mouth! You're only calling me out because you already have your next fight booked! I spoke to Mick Maynard and he said he's scheduled a fight for you. Coward! Don't say my name again," Wang wrote on social network X.

Recall that the last time Wang appeared in the octagon in January, when he knocked out Felipe Bunes. In total on his account 10 wins and one defeat in professional MMA.
