British UFC fighter of Dagestani origin Muhammad Mokaev, who competes in the flyweight division, spoke about his championship ambitions.
Telecomasia.net correspondent quotes Mokaev as saying:
I have time to become the youngest UFC champion until March 29, 2024. I plan to fly out to the U.S. after UFC 294 to step in as a replacement or fight someone. Two weeks after the Abu Dhabi tournament. Also, there's a tournament in Saudi Arabia on March 2, so I have time. The main thing is to get top ranked opponents to accept my challenges. Will the UFC help me with that? We'll see on Saturday, when I finish Tim Elliott.
Recall, on October 21 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) at UFC 294 Mokaev will fight against Tim Elliott.
Mokaev, 23, last fought against Jafel Filho in March of this year at UFC 286. In that confrontation, Muhammad won by third-round submission. He has 10 wins and no losses on his record.
