Mokaev is difficult to watch and hard to root for

[Fatback96]

This dude definitely didn’t make weight but UFC just said “f it we can’t postpone this fight again.”

He commits so many fouls every fight. Never gets any points taken (not his fault it’s the ref’s job but still frustrating).

He wins every fight by flailing his arms and legs around (striking) enough until he can shoot a very telegraphed takedown and hold his opponent on the ground and run out the clock.

His strikes have no intent on damage or finishing, they’re just a means to an end to dive on the hips and hold.

Anyone who tries to strike with him lands cleanly and easily, since his defense is almost nonexistent.

Not sure what the appeal is? Is it literally only because he’s undefeated?

I’m not hating, I’m just saying it’s hard to root for the guy.

He talks like he's at Khabib level of fighter when he's really an Abubakar

 

[HHJ]

Him trying to pull Kape's shorts off was ridiculous. He can fuck off for that.

 

[AmonTobin]

He always looks like he’s trying desperately not to get hurt. So desperate that he does things like pulling a guys shorts down. He has that style of fighting I loathe the most. Dodge, dodge, dodge, shoot, cling, cling, cling some more. The opposite of an action fighter. For someone with such good reflexes it’s a shame.

 

[Pechan]

Hope he enjoys PFL.

As well as eye poke him and kick him in the nuts repeatedly.


Mokaev got away with a hometown decision and tons of shenanigans. Ref had no control of that fight.

Probably the only way you can describe his "striking". I would be a fan if he were not a grown man that likes to flail and grab other mens shorts for a sneaky peek.

In the UK we call this the blind bollock bunt. You don't meet the balls, they meet you. That's how you avoid the foul.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

I’m glad he’s gone so I never have to watch him “fight” on a UFC card again.

 

[XThe GreatestX]

I said this in another thread but I will say it again.

I have been hard on Belal's performance but he literally looked like Arturo Gatti out there tonight compared to Mokaev.

Just horrible. And hey, I am FINE with that if you have some personality but he didn't really have much. The false clearing of the air/sucker punch of Kape is kinda amusing tho

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

We never have to watch him again thank God.
I knew my incessant text messages to Dana would eventually worm their way into his brain.
You're welcome Sherbros.
Most embarassing way anyone has been cut btw.
"Yea PFL is gonna get a nice undefeated guy." at the press conference LOL

 

[Trabaho]

There is no apeal noone said there was. Is the sport legitimate (wtf spelling). Win, ranked, stay. What other sport are you #6 and they say you're boring go away.

No worries sir, Dana said he's not renewing his contract.

 

[HHJ]

The worst part was after all the shorts pulling/posturing/multiple fights outside/eye pokes/groin shots/tap kicks while running

he gets announced the winner and tries not to cry like he won Miss America and they handed him a bouquet.

Dude FUCK OFF.

Worst Dagestani ever.

Exactly. At least Belal is actually TRYING to finish. Whereas Mokaev has no intention on ever finishing.

 

[Bradillac]

It's becasue he's not good at anything. He uses his physical gifts (youth,size,strength,energy) to outwork guys, but he looks awful doing it. He's supposed to be a great wrestler, but he has struggled to take all of his oppennts down, and when he does get them down he can't keep them there. On the feet he's no better, he pretty much spammed weak kicks to keep Kape off of him in his last fight.

 

[TripleIDoubleH]

Give Mokaev his title shot

 

[Billthebutcher]

He's finished in the UFC.

I was in the arena and them pretending they wanted to fight before the start got the crowd going, the energy in there was electric.

Then they delivered one of the worst fights I've ever seen, absolute dogshit performance from both. Absolutely killed the energy in the crowd.
