Muhammad Mokaev has been withdrawn from his scheduled matchup with Adriano Moraes, with undefeated prospect Fumi Enkuta stepping in as a late replacement. The bout is set for May 17 under the MVP promotion banner. No reason was provided for Mokaev's exit from the contest.
Enkuta enters with a perfect 11-0 professional record, meaning the card will still feature an all-unbeaten matchup between two fighters with unblemished career slates.
Mokaev, 25, is one of the most promising fighters in the sport's lighter weight classes. The England-born KHK MMA representative carries a 13-0-0 record and brings a wrestling-heavy offensive game, averaging 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes. His striking output sits at 1.61 significant strikes landed per minute with a 45 percent accuracy rate, and he adds 0.8 submission attempts per 15 minutes to round out a well-rounded attacking profile. The orthodox fighter stands five-foot-seven with a 70-inch reach.
Why it matters
- Mokaev's withdrawal reshuffles what was a high-profile MVP card booking at short notice
- Enkuta's undefeated 11-0 record means the replacement still carries genuine stakes for both fighters
- The late swap raises questions about Mokaev's availability heading into a busy stretch of the calendar
