Muhammad Mokaev Rejoins Brave CF After UFC Exit

Muhammad Mokaev has re-signed with Bahrain-based promotion Brave CF after his recent departure from the UFC, where he completed his contract with a victory over Manel Kape at UFC 304. UFC CEO Dana White confirmed that Mokaev would not be offered a new contract, citing behind-the-scenes issues as a reason for his exit. Brave CF's president, Mohammad Shahid, welcomed Mokaev back, defending him against what he described as an 'unjust persecution' of his character and emphasizing the promotion's commitment to diversity and fairness in their roster. Mokaev, 24, remains undefeated in his professional career, boasting two IMMAF world titles and a record of 14-0. His return is perceived as a significant boost for Brave CF as they seek to showcase top talent in the sport. The official confirmation of his signing is expected during Brave CF's upcoming event in Burgas, Bulgaria.
