Mokaev Offered UFC BJJ Title Shot vs Musumeci

Former UFC flyweight contender Muhammad Mokaev, who was cut by the promotion in 2024 despite defeating Manel Kape, has been offered a title shot in the UFC's BJJ promotion against current champion Mikey Musumeci. Mokaev was released by Dana White after the matchmakers deemed him difficult to work with behind the scenes, but the 25-year-old has since reclaimed the BRAVE CF flyweight title and won three consecutive MMA fights. The offer represents a potential pathway for Mokaev to rebuild his relationship with the UFC and demonstrate personal growth. It remains unclear whether the title shot is scheduled for the upcoming UFC BJJ 5 event on February 12 or a later date.
