Recently, Muhammad Mokaev, who competes in the flyweight division in the UFC, proposed a fight against Flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and pitched the idea to Dana White. Let’s delve into the details of the fight.
Mokaev vs Moreno?
Following a grueling five-round battle at UFC 290 held at the T-Mobile Arena, Brandon Moreno, the former flyweight champion, suffered a loss in his title defense against Alexandre Pantoja. In a closely contested fight, Pantoja emerged victorious, securing the 125-pound championship via a split decision in the event’s co-main bout.
However, on X previously known as Twitter, Mokaev suggested the notion of challenging Moreno in February. He wrote:
However, the fight’s schedule has not been released by Dana White, and it remains uncertain whether they will face each other in February. Mokaev‘s proposal is merely an idea, allowing Dana to consider it. While suggesting the fight could simplify scheduling, there has been no confirmation from Dana White yet.
Brandon Moreno’s record stands at 21 wins, 7 losses, and 2 draws, while Muhammad Mokaev boasts an undefeated record of 11 wins, 1 no contest. Mokaev is eager for his next fight and has proposed the idea to Dana White.
