UFC flyweight fighter Muhammad Mokaev, in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net, shared his thoughts on why UFC is not granting him a title shot.
Alex Perez moved up in the rankings because he defeated a guy who is above all of us. Maybe this is correct. But I recently beat Perez by unanimous decision. I am 6-0 in the UFC, while Perez had his first victory in four years. I think it's all about politics. Look at my record. The contender who fought for the title had a 3-0 record in the UFC. I always speak my mind. And I spoke in support of Palestine. Maybe this affected their decision-making. The main thing for me is to win. They may delay me in the title race, but they can never stop me

The 23-year-old Mokaev has 12 wins and no losses to his name. His latest fight was on March 2 at UFC Fight Night 238, where he won by unanimous decision against Alex Perez.
