Muhammad Mokaev next fight: UFC star reveals next possible steps after latest win

UFC star Muhammad Mokaev has revealed that he could fight in either October or November following his win at UFC London last weekend.

Ever since making his UFC debut in the English capital back in March, Muhammad Mokaev has been one of the most talked-about prospects in the UFC. From his exciting fight style to his incredible confidence, Brits and fans from across the globe have taken notice of the youngster’s potential.

This past Saturday night, in his second London appearance, Mokaev put on a professional display against Charles Johnson to grind out a decision win and continue his unbeaten run.

However, when speaking to GiveMeSport.com, Mo admitted that it was frustrating not to get the finish.

“I tried to finish, of course I tried to finish, but the guy was like, he didn’t want to win, he was more passive, so I was a little bit angry. He was holding my hand and I pushed him with the hand and I was like, getting angry, like listen, either fight, don’t hold my glove. When somebody doesn’t try to win, that’s when you can’t finish, for those who understand MMA – not casuals, those who understand MMA!”

The O2 Arena is a familiar landing spot for the Wigan sensation, given that just a few years ago, he was a fan sitting in the stands.

“Five years ago, six years ago I sat in the same arena [O2 Arena] watching my friend in the same arena, first time watching UFC. I just love the atmosphere and I said to him, and Stefan Struve when I met him, listen, I’m gonna be here soon, and I worked hard for it.”

“I used to turn up on my own to the camps, didn’t even know anyone then started making friends to get the experience, and now I’m beating all of them.”
