In an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net, UFC lightweight division fighter Muhammad Mokaev shared his thoughts on his fight against Manel Kape at UFC 304 on the night of 28 July.
Muhammad Mokaev exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
I have one fight left. After that, we will re-sign under more favorable terms. I want to fight for the title; I think it's time. Hunter Campbell told me, "If you win impressively against Kape, we will offer you a title fight. If not, you'll have to fight again." He was probably referring to a knockout by a spinning kick or something, but I think it will be a submission.
Mokaev has 12 wins and no losses, with a June 2021 bout against Ibragim Navruzov ruled a no contest. Mokaev is ranked sixth in the UFC's lightweight division. No. 8 Manel Kape has 19 wins and six losses in his professional career.
