Muhammad Mokaev is a fighter with a clear vision. He's not just fighting for wins; he's fighting to prove a point. After a perfect 7-0 run in the UFC, he wasn't re-signed, and now he's on a mission to show the world what they missed.

On November 7, Mokaev will step into the Brave CF cage to fight for their inaugural flyweight title. His opponent, Gerard Burns, is just one step on his journey. Mokaev has bigger plans. He's already looking ahead to potential fights that could bring him back to the UFC.

During a press conference, Mokaev playfully mentioned two fighters he'd like to face next. The first was Borislav Nikolic, the current bantamweight champion. Nikolic, who will defend his title against Mokaev's teammate, seemed open to the idea. The second was Jose "Shorty" Torres, a former bantamweight champion and ex-UFC fighter. Mokaev sees these fights as opportunities to prove his worth and move up the ranks.

Mokaev knows that every fight is a chance for his opponents to make a name for themselves. He's undefeated and widely regarded as one of the best flyweights in the world. He believes that beating him is like winning a title fight. It's a bold statement, but it's also a reflection of his confidence and the respect he has for his opponents.

Mokaev's journey is far from over. He's taking it one fight at a time, but he's always looking ahead. He's not just fighting for titles; he's fighting to change perceptions and secure his place among the elite.
