After visa issues forced Mokaev to withdraw from a matchup with Adriano Moraes at Most Valuable Promotions “Rousey vs. Carano,” the UFC veteran has agreed to face Jorge Calvo at WOW 31 on June 6 in Madrid, Spain. The organization announced the bantamweight bout on Wednesday. UFC lightweight champ Iia Topuria is part owner of the promotion, which is officially known as Way of Warrior FC.

A New Opportunity
Mokaev, who is the reigning Brave Combat Federation titlist, is unbeaten in 17 professional outings. He earned a Top 10 ranking after going 7-0 in the UFC, besting the likes of Manel Kape, Alex Perez and Tim Elliott in the process. He was released from the organization in 2024 and has gone 3-0 in MMA bouts since then, winning the Brave CF flyweight strap this past November.
A native of Costa Rica, Calvo owns a 20-7 career mark. He was the LUX Fight League flyweight champion until dropping a unanimous decision to Paulino Siller on Feb. 13. That defeat snapped an eight-bout winning streak for the 34-year-old.
