Muhammad Mokaev has seemingly been invited back to the UFC, but not to compete in MMA.
Mokaev (15-0) recently won the under-65 kilogram title at the English Senior Wrestling Championships in freestyle wrestling. Mokaev claims he has now been offered to fight jiu-jitsu ace Mikey Musumeci for a UFC BJJ title.

“I have been offered to compete against Mikey Mussumeci for the UFC BJJ belt. What do you think guys?” Mokaev wrote on X.

Staying Active Outside the UFC
Despite being undefeated, Mokaev’s UFC contract was not renewed following a win over Manel Kape in 2024. While some alleged behavioral issues, Mokaev said it was due to his fighting style, which has often been criticized for not being fan-friendly. Mokaev has since picked up wins at Brave Combat Federation, Karate Combat, and 971 FC. Mokaev recently won the inaugural Brave CF flyweight title with a head-kick knockout win over Gerard Burns this past November. The undefeated Dagestan-born Brit is now scheduled to compete in a wrestling match against Bryce Meredith at RAF 6 on Feb. 28 in Tempe, Arizona.
