New Delhi: Muhammad Mokaev will face Manel Kape in the last match of his UFC contract on July 28. His fight with Kape was on the main card but was moved from prelims and has since been lowered to the early prelims.
Kape has won his last four fights in the organization and is considered a highly controversial figure. Mokaev also had a great MMA career and has won gold in IMMAF and ADCC as an amateur.
Despite his six back-to-back wins in the UFC, Mokaev feels he needs to put up a good performance to get a new contract. Speaking to MMA on SiriusXM, he said that the UFC doesn’t like his style and that is why he needs to prove himself in this fight. He also revealed that this is the last fight on his contract.
“I think they don’t like my style. But, that is why I have something I need to prove this fight, I need to show everything sometimes I try to play safe, try to play safe but maybe it looks boring to the casual. I’m on (the) last fight deal with the UFC, this is my last fight on the contract. I need to put in a good performance to negotiate a new contract. It depends on my performance also” Mokaev said on MMA on SiriusXM.
