Quick read
Former UFC flyweight contender Muhammad Mokaev, released by Dana White, announced on February 9, 2026, that he has been offered a title shot against champion Mikey Musumeci in the UFC BJJ promotion. Mokaev, 25, has won three MMA fights since his UFC exit, reclaiming the BRAVE CF flyweight title. The opportunity comes ahead of UFC BJJ 5 on February 12, where Musumeci defends against Shay Montague, though timing is unclear. This could showcase Mokaev's grappling to rebuild his UFC ties. Fans hope it leads to an MMA return; expect his decision soon as he eyes proving his growth.
