ABU DHABI – Muhammad Mokaev is grateful to finally draw a ranked opponent in the UFC.
Undefeated Mokaev has been willing to fight anyone, but he’s struggled to quickly climb up the flyweight ranks due to the lack of ranked opposition.
Mokaev (9-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) finally gets his wish when he takes on Tim Elliott (19-12-1 MMA, 8-10 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 294 featured prelim at Etihad Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view at a special time of 2 p.m. ET following prelims on ESPN+.
