Dana White says Muhammad Mokaev is done in UFC: ‘PFL’s going to get a great, undefeated guy’

[Wild]

Muhammad Mokaev moved to 7-0 in the octagon with his win at UFC 304, but it appears that will serve as his final appearance in the organization.

Following a decision victory over Manel Kape on Saturday, Mokaev revealed that his UFC contract was completed and he hoped to get a new deal done. He claimed his performance against Kape would likely determine his future, and that UFC executives told him “they don’t want to see me keep shooting and take somebody down.”

Following the event, UFC CEO Dana White reacted to Mokaev’s comments and confirmed the 23-year-old prospect will not be offered a new contract to remain in the promotion.

“Yeah, that’s what we tell guys. We tell guys how to fight,” White said of Mokaev. “We’ve been doing this for a long f*cking time. I’m sure one the matchmakers probably said something to him or whatever. The matchmakers aren’t big fans of his for many different reasons. There’s a lot of people who shoot takedowns in this business, a lot of guys that fight with that type of style. But it’s a lot more than just that.

“He’s not under contract anymore. I think the PFL’s going to get a great undefeated guy. Good luck to him.”

The sport should be about who wins.

Not who moves a needle.

You don't like a guy's style, then beat him.

yes but the guy also sucker punched somebody at the weigh ins and provoked a scrap at the performance institute . he is a retard and his style doesnt put asses in the seats . he is his own worst enemy. if he had done all that stuff and then came out and wrecked shop he would still have a job. it is a case of being more trouble than he is worth
