Like I said in getting tired of being the “inside guy”. Just know that mokaev being released had nothing to do with his fighting style, the fact that he has all these accolades and they are willing to let him walk should tell you something

Muhammad Mokaev has a 7 win streak, the longest active UFC win streak at Flyweight with 4 finishes & 3 decisions at only 23 years old. Deciding to cut Mokaev after he's so close to the title is such a scumbag move...
