LONDON – Jake Hadley has a solid flyweight test in front of him Saturday, but his first test might be one of will power.
Hadley (9-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) takes on Malcolm Gordon (14-6 MMA, 2-3 UFC) on the UFC 286 prelims at The O2 in London. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and early prelims on ESPN+.
But in the buildup to that fight, Hadley has heard plenty from Muhammad Mokaev (8-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who fights later on the prelims against Jafel Filho. Mokaev on Wednesday detailed a run-in with Hadley at the fighter hotel and said Hadley wasn’t interested in a confrontation and stood behind his father.
