There’s no doubt that if Muhammad Mokaev had kept a more solid demeanor, he could have been a UFC superstar. After his UFC departure, he has been taking aim at UFC stars while seeking a return to Dana White’s promotion. His most recent target, Kai Kara-France, called Mokaev a boring fighter. Subsequently, Mokaev quickly responded, reminding Kara-France that his two-year career carries more weight than the latter’s eight years in the sport.
Kara-France recently shared his candid thoughts on Mokaev during an interview with Ariel Helwani. He called Mokaev’s style “boring,” saying that fighting should be about action, not just wrestling or hugging. Kara-France specifically criticized Mokaev for pulling down his opponent’s pants during a fight, arguing that fans don’t pay to watch fighters “dry h*mp” on the ground.
Muhammad Mokaev responded to Kai Kara-France’s comments by pointing out that he has more finishes than Kara-France, despite being in the UFC for just two years with seven fights. ‘The Punisher’ highlighted that he’s managed four finishes while dealing with two significant injuries.
In contrast, Kara-France has been in the UFC for eight years, with most of his wins coming by decision and only three finishes. Additionally, Mokaev challenged ‘Don’t Blink’ to “do the maths” and added that Manel Kape is the one who truly owns him in the division.

Michael Bisping Wants Muhammad Mokaev Back In The UFC
After UFC 310, it seemed like Alexandre Pantoja had no big challenges left in the flyweight division. Consequently, Bisping is pushing for Mokaev’s return and challenging Pantoja for the title. Bisping believes it’s a fresh and exciting fight that could shake things up. Though he recognizes Mokaev’s controversial behavior, Bisping is confident the young fighter will mature. For Bisping, it’s the perfect clash of styles and a fight the flyweight division can’t miss.
He said, “I’d like to see it… Apparently, there was other stuff going on. Regardless, he is a young man… Hopefully, hopefully, he comes back to the UFC. I would like to see him against Pantoja.”
