MANCHESTER, England – Muhammad Mokaev is hoping that his efforts on Saturday night turn into a new contract and an opportunity to fight for UFC gold.
Mokaev, who defeated Manel Kape in a unanimous decision at UFC 304, fought out his contract with the promotion as he picked up his seventh consecutive win in the octagon.
“Yes, I want to fight for the belt and I hope the UFC gives me a new contract,” Mokaev told reporters at the UFC 304 post-fight press conference. “My contract is finished with the UFC. I hope to get a new contract. They want exciting fights and I tried to put my striking together. This is the first time in my career that I was standing for three rounds and with the best flyweight striker.”
