I sense no fire from this dude. Mokaev for sure.

[@Fitkid7672]

He hasn’t won in like 4 years. His last fight was 2022 & it was a loss. The fight before that was a loss in 21.

[@sudhirsingare3753]

He is all the opposite what he is saying.

[@nitekrawlerhiphop]

Part-time fighter

[@bingusman69]

If you own a house bet it on Mokaev. Alex “Fighting isn’t my main source of income” Perez

[@Jxjnavarro22]

I ain’t like that answer.. knowing he is my last leg on a 13 pick parlay

[@bingusman69]

@@Jxjnavarro22 cash it out dude. It might look competitive in round 1 but Mokaev is gonna drown him.

[@ryanturner6922]

Mokaev should win but he gasses in the latter rounds, I'd say Perez will be hesitant round 1 since his last 2 round 1 sub losses, but if he gets confidence in the latter rounds he could turn it on, stuff some takedowns and land his trademark leg kicks. Otherwise I just see Mokaev round 1 clubbing/subbing him. GOOD LUCK!@@bingusman69

[@mikeross111]

When I was 21 I lost a job with this attitude. I had my main job, side job of flipping cars, and started a weekend gig installing tents for carnivals. I made the mistake of saying I had other income revenue and they fired me that same weekend. They straight up told me I wouldn't be as motivated. I was angry for years at them guys but now I understand.

[@Skull-xv7be]

Alex u better be motivated brother cause ur going against someone who is going to fight for the title if they win this match

[@mariolobos7120]

This dude fought for a belt man …

[@mikeross111]

He seems pretty chill. Reminds me of Benal Dariush.

[@user-px2wd2uo5n]

**Beneil**

[@wildberry752]

He SOUNDS like Max Holloway

[@cloudvsSephirof]

He is sick but probably refusing to pull out for the millionth time.

[@afgunlion]

Alex 'my family talks shit about me' perez 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@habitat2742]

I doubt cause makaev is a bit motivated for the title

Wow that comment on one of Big Marcel’s posts was my comment that he was referring too😂

[@XBLonTwitch]

[@cunctator3401]

we know the outcome already,this dude is doomed to be another win for Mokaev

[@jhonnyinojosa6625]

Bro this card is fire 🔥.

[@Kris-mu4cf]

Yall clowning him for having other business 😂 yall can’t be broke and stupid cmon

[@DYNAMiC027]

This guy looks like he's on the verge of death already in this vid -- Mokaev breakout show incoming..

[@georgharveyoswald5982]

Any fighter who really wants to reach the top level will always say that you can't have a second job or other job. Gotta dedicate 100% to fighting. Literally the mindset of every champion.

[@dannytran1587]

Exactly, Aljamain talks about this all the time. UFC spotlight isn’t forever

[@callumlambert6558]

I thought he was fighting Steven Erceg?

[@colostrum590]

Steve erceg is fighting Matt schnell

[@callumlambert6558]

@@colostrum590 churr

[@dannytran1587]

Imagine how crazy it would be if Schnell got a TKO/KO? Have a massive payout in it

[@themarinman8339]

Like I said like I said like I said

[@cypherxp4]

If Perez makes weight okay..Mokaev will have problems. Malcom Gordon ....Elliot were winning until he subbed them. Mokaev is sub or bust....Mokaev ain't no Pantoja or Figgy...be weary of laying the chalk.

[@ShinryuRQs]

Who’s that mma journalist who stumbles and stutters his way through every question - god it’s hard to listen to

[@shanebluebutterfly]

Fights less than colby covington
