Rumored Muhammad Mokaev possibly coming back to the UFC

Oh I missed him so much

This sounds like Hunter told Mokaev something in private, which may or may not come to pass, and Mokaev was supposed to shut up about it. To me it looks like Mokaev was bugging the UFC to get back in, and they told him "ok, you win 1-2 fights and then we can talk about you coming back". If that's the case, Hunter won't be too happy that Mokaev immediately opened his mouth.
 
Dana always harps about how the best in the world fight in the UFC. This makes more sense than the regional fighters winning contracts on the contender series.
 
I just want to see Mokaev and Taira have some grappling scrambles...
 
In my opinion, he shouldn't have been cut in the first place. On the birght side,hopefully being cut lights a fire under his ass and helps him cut his shit.
 
Usually I'd hate on backstage fighting the way he did it surounding someone. But he did it to the overagressive Manuel Kappe. So him being back is positive, he's a elite fighter, no issues with him being a grappler and control based.
 
The Game needs him. Flyweight needs him there right now or else we'll have to watch brandon and brandon fight everyone and eachother over and over
 
What if he wins two boring lay and pray decisions, do they still let him back in?
