Muhammad Mokaev defeated Maurice Boleyan by judges' decision at ACBJJ22, capturing the league's championship belt in a battle jiu-jitsu match. Mokaev declared himself the best flyweight in the world and stated he is ready to face any fighter at 57 kg.
Muhammad Mokaev added another title to his collection on August 30, submitting — by judges' decision — Maurice Boleyan at ACBJJ22 to claim the league's battle jiu-jitsu championship belt.
Mokaev, known as "The Punisher," enters his 27th year undefeated in mixed martial arts, carrying a perfect 13-0-0 professional record. The 26-year-old Englishman competes at flyweight out of KHK MMA and has built a reputation as one of the division's most relentless grapplers. Standing five-foot-seven with a 70-inch reach, he averages 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes in MMA competition — a rate that reflects the wrestling-heavy pressure he brings into any grappling context. His striking output of 1.61 significant strikes landed per minute rounds out a well-developed all-around game.
The ACBJJ22 victory came in a battle jiu-jitsu format, where submission attempts and positional control are judged when a finish is not secured. Mokaev left the event with both the belt and a statement, declaring himself the best flyweight on the planet at 57 kilograms and expressing willingness to face any challenger in that weight class.
Why it matters
- Mokaev remains undefeated at 13-0, and this grappling title reinforces his credentials as an elite competitor beyond the MMA cage.
- His declaration as the world's best flyweight at 57 kg signals ambition and could pressure matchmakers and rivals alike.
- A grappling-specific championship adds to his profile heading into what figures to be a pivotal stretch of his MMA career.
