Muhammad Mokaev claims he’s best flyweight in world after UFC exit

Muhammad Mokaev continues to assert his status as the world's best flyweight despite his controversial exit from the UFC. The undefeated Dagestan-born British fighter has since compiled an impressive résumé outside the promotion, becoming champion across multiple organizations and remaining active in MMA, submission grappling, and Karate Combat.

When asked by Red Corner MMA if he considers himself the 125-pound king worldwide, Mokaev reiterated his conviction. "I just know it," he said. "I know they just didn't give me a chance to get the belt. I'll keep collecting belts all over the world and calling their fighters out." Mokaev referenced UFC president Dana White's past advice to prove himself elsewhere, stating: "Dana said two years ago, 'Become champion somewhere else.' I became Brave CF champion, ACBJJ champion, five fights, four finishes, staying busy and showing the world why I'm the best flyweight in the world." With a 17-0 record and multiple championship belts earned outside the UFC, Mokaev continues to make his case for a return to the premier organization, all while maintaining his undefeated status.
