UFC flyweight prospect Jake Hadley has revealed the origins of his rivalry with fellow rising star Muhammad Mokaev ahead of his promotional debut.
Hadley makes his first UFC appearance this Saturday in Las Vegas against Allan Nascimento, a teammate of former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. Hadley was signed to the promotion after impressing on the Contender Series, despite UFC boss Dana White being warned not to sign him because of his unprofessionalism before the fight.
Before turning professional in 2014, Hadley was the No.1 ranked amateur in the UK. At this time Mokaev was also on the come up and the pair quickly began a feud after challenging each other to a fight.
