Any chance Mokaev will be re-signed?

[Leonard Haid]

"Now Dana White will never resign him after hearing you" - Fans react as MMA insider calls for Muhammad Mokaev to be re-signed by the UFC

Alexandre Pantoja retained his flyweight title at UFC 310, defeating Kai Asakura decisively.

I can't think of any opponent for Pantoja who will generate as much hype in the world. Mokaev may be an asshole in the eyes of the UFC brass, but assholes tend to sell fights. And of course he's undefeated, and has never faced Pantoja. Thoughts?

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Mokaev has pedestrian striking and would get dog walked by Pantoja in embarrassing fashion. He's as lay and pray a wrestler as you can find, which is why he couldn't finish fights even on the amateur circuit. Good riddance.

 

[Black9]

Figgy(has a win over Pantoja) or Kai Kara France.

Only 2 people who Pantoja should be fighting.

 

[xhaydenx]

Goatoja would retire him within 2 rounds.

 

[Croaker]

Have him fight Naoya Inoue in boxing

 

[Neck&Neck]

Who is mokaev, some regional fighter or something?

 

[hoevan]

Really don't care to see him anymore.

 

[blaseblase]

Not any time soon. Not sure why we are still talking about this annoying guy. This is the UFC forum. At least wait for the guy to win a fight before broaching this topic.

 

[irimiasz]

I think he may be after a solid win. He was possibly a problematic asshole and the UFC might have cut him to prove a point, but keep the possibility to resign him if they find him more cooperative now.
They already did that with Ottman Azaitar, he was released for some problematic outside of the cage behavior, Dana felt strongly about it, but he was soon brought back.

imho Mokaev grappling would be to much for Pantoja.. I think they should resign Mokaev only for pantoja fight

Really don't care to see him anymore.

Mokaev showed immense skill and an exciting style vs. Cody Durden, Tim Elliott, and got out of a locked-in kneebar at UFC 286. He is championship material, in my opinion. Don't judge him based on the Kape fight.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

He doesn't have many fans, he needs to get more fans.

Bro, he was struggling to control Perez after a couple of rounds, and it's not like he was doing anything to Kape. Heck, Tim Elliot was up 2 rounds against him.

Pantoja is on a completely different level than both of those guys. He'd wreck him bad.

What can you expect from a jacuzzi boi?
Of course he thinks mokaevs blue belt ass has something for Goatoja, when in reality he can’t even open and pass guard.

Mokaev wouldn't have to worry about opening and passing Goatoja's guard, because he wouldn't even be able get that position on him.

Goatoja would grapple this kid to pieces and sub him with laughable ease.

Ottman and his brother are tight with some sheiks and one of the royal families over in the Middle East. Those two are very, very well connected.

One of those rich connections rang up Dana and they got him off the hook. They reversed their decision almost instantly lol. Most other low or mid level fighters like that would have been forgotten about.

 

[Aurelian]

LOL at thinking Mokaev has any type of chance against the Goat that is Alexandre Pantoja.

Pantoja has a victory over KKF (on TUF), long time ago though yes

I'd rather see sexy Sage Northcutts ass back in the UFC tbh
