Media Mokaev: Fighting Hadley would be a step backward in my career

[ExitLUPin]

Sounds like a duck. Fight makes perfect sense. 2 of the best prospects in the division. Dollar store Khabib VS Conor. Mokaev just fought an unranked guy after hes been ranked himself so how was this fight not a step back for him?

Mokaev is ranked 12th, whether justified or not Hadley is a huge step back. Give Mokaev someone ranked who can grapple. Give Hadley to Taira.

He's trying for the Youngest Champion title from Jon Jones, so I understand why he's in a hurry to climb the rankings

Being ranked 12th didnt stop him from accepting a fight against unranked Jafel Filho coming off Contender Series. Who is nowhere near the prospect or name Hadley is. Mokaev ducking.

He tried hard to get a marquee fight before Ramadan to no avail, doesn't mean he should fight another unranked prospect again.

True but hes done nothing to show he even deserved to have a ranking. Its on pure hype. Hes beaten no one to deserve a ranking over prospects like Hadley or Taira. Fighting Hadley is not this step backwards hes pretending it is.

is this gone be islam all over again? fighter lower ranked opponents because all the top guys are ducking and then boom you're catapulted to a championship fight

Hadley is only 2-1 in the ufc mokaev is undefeated and deserves a more notable name
