Most exciting moments were all him almost getting finished

[@anunnaki44]

And then not w we be finishing his opponents

[@Husainan47]

And then he comes back and finishes them

[@mtp2568]

exciting moments was when stupid ppl like you really thought he was about to lose😂😂

[@DancyHercules3]

Mokaev is a very nice and humble dude if you ever get to meet and know him irl

[@Deonna__n]

Like most dagestanis. Down to earth and full with respect

[@asharpbrotha4324]

Mannnn fuck the people who say "your boring" at the end of the day your in the cage, not them. Ur fighting style has been working. I feel like no matter what as long as u keep winning the titke shot will come.

[@tootiemusicc357]

I agree with you. On the other hand.. The fighting game is still a entertainment business. More exciting fights get you more money, more opportunities. Thats how the game works.

[@bobthejober8025]

He's gonna have to change it up a bit after the new rules come in else he'll be kneed to oblivion. I hope he improves and adapts because he's talented!

[@Shyisaqt]

He don’t know you lil bro😭😭😭

[@marcushards910]

Nobody wants to watch a boring fight stop simping

[@asharpbrotha4324]

@tootiemusicc357 yeah I know bro it's all about business but mannn......sometimes I'm like fuck these fans lol just the way they treat these fighters at times. I feel like if your a fighter what you should do is A. Try to fight without getting hit obviously B. Have a good career, try to become a great C. Don't overstay your welcome Cause fighters like justin gaethje and Michael chandler sure we don't call them boring, there fight style is entertaining but when they're older and possibly not able to function as well from all the wars you think the fans will really give a damn? No.

[@jaysong5500]

It's crazy how many ufc fans don't know, Mma. Mokaev, not exciting. Did you watch him survive that kneebar...that was crazy

[@user-lr6wb1ov8l]

Did u see what happened after the knee bar? Kape is not gonna get put him in any danger on the ground

[@jericho-tube]

Lol casuals like you are turning the MMA into a boring sport

[@user-lr6wb1ov8l]

@@jericho-tube kape got outstriked. Who's the casual

[@jericho-tube]

@@user-lr6wb1ov8l So ? If a guy throws 2 strikes and other throws 1 strike then that does not make him an exciting fighter casual

[@user-ns8ex2bb9j]

​@@jericho-tube hahaha I know that's right. & facts of that fight. 😂😂😂

[@alishanaa9943]

Big mokaev fan, people forget how young he is and treat him as if hes 30 years old…

[@thefourfourfour9512]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz he boring

[@ikhan2181]

​@thefourfourfour9512 and you are 🤷‍♂️

[@13BloodyAprons]

Well he’s bald and has a beard so yeah he looks 30 also he’s boring as fuck he just hugs guys doesn’t ground n pound or anything. Just lame ass snack sniffing khabib atleast would ground n pound guys.

[@thewretch4081]

Maybe?

[@stretchmc]

Stand up guy, work ethic second to none, Watch the rise⚠️ inshallah ✊😎

[@BradleyCoopertest]

i saw him fight in Italy a couple of times. He was still a teenager but kicked ass. I know he had an undefeated amateur record. This young man is the real deal, how old is he now, 23? I think he's a future champion.

[@alfiashaikh9228]

I'll be rooting for brother Mokaev❤

[@dejans1505]

Mad respect, dude fights anyone and at anytime, takes lower ranked fights to prove to ufc he’s him. Easy win this Saturday and title shot next.

[@colbymclemore7642]

They’re changing the hand to ground rule specifically because of this guy right here lmao. Literally baits illegal knees.

[@JoeyCruz-gh9og]

Great for me since I'm not buying the PPV. Get this and Wood vs Pineda too ✊

[@vortigergaming7541]

Russian link bratha, never pay

[@ikhan2181]

The majority do not pay for ufc. They have been cooking the books. z!0 owned and funded ufc moto: "by way of deception thou shall do business"

[@Skipjj]

Casual

[@JoeyCruz-gh9og]

@@Skipjj Can't afford it this weekend... You know, it isn't hard to use your brain dude

[@Skipjj]

@@JoeyCruz-gh9og u don’t need money to watch main cards lil bro

[@ILoveGaza77]

If you find Mokaev boring you have no business watching this sport.

[@JnoEL1]

You can recognize his level of skill and also find his fights boring at the same times

[@xXAmightzXx]

he is

[@thefourfourfour9512]

he is boring as hell... and the ufc ruleset and people like you are gonna be the death of the sport. he should be yellow carded and red carded for lack of action

[@Unodostres00]

I'm not sure if he is trying to speak English, it's my native tongue and I can't understand a word he says.

[@Husainan47]

I swear people only hate mokaev because he’s Dagestani cause if you watch his fights and think he’s boring than you should go watch boxing or kickboxing

[@alexgonzalez8954]

Didn’t think guy group up in the UK whatsup with the accent ???

[@IAyala1010]

He just has the 2024 UK accent.

[@alexgonzalez8954]

@@IAyala1010 truuuue

[@Sir1626]

Mokaev is either dumb or he doesn't want the title shot. A win here gets him the title shot.

[@pakusastunt5885]

Thats the stupidest way to call someone as a humble person

[@alpe6228]

It wont lol,Dana clearly doesnt like him cause he sniff jocks most of the time.

[@blackslav1497]

Here b4 ai bots😂

[@13BloodyAprons]

Mokaev should atleast work on his ground n pound or jiujitsu because atleast khabib would whoop ass on the ground not just hug and hold down. But I get it it’s MMA and his opponents should defend the takedowns but still just my 2 cents lol

[@Youssef-hd5bl]

this video is very inspiring, the editing, the content, I really appreciate the effort you put into this video, It’s clear that you've done a lot of research. Thank you for this.

[@saadalikhan3031]

I respect his skills in the cage but how Can someone who came to the country as a kid still not speak the language properly? I dont get it. Its not Leon-level bad but Its close.

[@theoctagonjones]

I am a fan of Mokaev

[@Yummeosbada]

I'd rather watch paint dry than Mokaev fight.

[@ishmael_03]

Kape is going to beat him. 😁

[@CompleteProducer84]

If Khabib and Anthony Smith had a kid

[@palmedor9916]

That’s weird

[@truthseeker2222]

this dude is a tiny human. If Khabib and a midget had a kid more like it.

[@ashiaqu643]

Mini khabib vs mini bobby green

[@lujagoa]

very immature and like a barking dog.... good luck in PFL

[@nickster3008]

My concerns are do you hate English. That’s the true question? You seem to mention Palestine when this sport isn’t about that. And are you wanting an army of MMA fighters here in my country that my grandparents built and saved . That’s my question because you don’t seem to like us

[@muhammadhamza9929]

he's mentioning Palestine because those people don't have a voice,no mainstream media is showing all the children,women and elderly killed brutally,its not about hating the english ,in fact the way in which people in the west have raised the voice for the Palestine wether through protests or marches,none of the muslim country was able to match that,and for that we truly respect you guys..

[@nickster3008]

It’s because what he will say on the mic is why your pit down on the card. Learn to not talk about politics

[@tuffneggah]

pfl it is

[@TheViolent_]

Overrated...

[@Henrucho1]

So he’s just now realizing his fight style is boring
