The fight is scheduled to take place on May 17 in the MVP promotion. No reason for Mokaev's withdrawal was provided in the announcement. Both the original matchup and the replacement bout feature highly credentialed fighters, with Enkuta bringing an unblemished professional record into the contest.
Muhammad Mokaev has been withdrawn from his upcoming flyweight contest against Adriano Moraes, with undefeated prospect Fumi Enkuta stepping in as a late replacement. The reshuffled bout is scheduled for May 17 under the MVP promotion. No reason was given for Mokaev's withdrawal.
Mokaev, known as "The Punisher," is a 25-year-old English fighter out of KHK MMA who carries a perfect 13-0-0 professional record. Standing five-foot-seven with a 70-inch reach, the orthodox grappler is one of the more complete prospects in the flyweight division, averaging 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside solid submission activity. His striking accuracy sits at 45 percent, a respectable figure for a fighter whose game is built heavily around controlling opponents on the mat.
Enkuta steps in carrying an unblemished 11-0 record, though no additional verified data is available for the newcomer at this time. The undefeated mark alone signals that Moraes and the MVP matchmakers view him as a credible replacement capable of filling a high-profile slot on short notice.
Why it matters
- Mokaev's absence removes one of flyweight's most talked-about unbeaten prospects from a marquee matchup with Moraes
- Enkuta's perfect record means the bout retains its zero-losses storyline, with one fighter set to suffer a first professional defeat
- The late change leaves questions around Mokaev's status and whether a rescheduled date against Moraes will be pursued
