Muhammed Mokaev Determined to Stay Undefeated

Born in Dagestan in 2000, Muhammed Mokaev has been living in Manchester since the age of 12, and Manchester is where his fight with Manel Kape will take place on July 27. It’s needless to say he’s going to have his fans there with him to support him.

That’s not his only advantage over Kape. He’s also a much better wrestler. In fact, he might be the best wrestler in the flyweight division of the UFC. This guy lands 5.75 takedowns per fight on average and is incredibly dangerous on the ground. He’s 12-0-1 overall with 50% of his wins happening by submission.

He doesn’t land too many strikes, but the fact is that he’s a decent boxer as well. The evidence of this is that he out-boxed Alex Perez in his most recent fight, hitting him 47 times while absorbing only 30 strikes in three rounds.

Manel Kape Hates Mokaev’s Guts

Manel Kape is 19-6 overall with four losses by decision and two by submission. When it comes to his wins, most of them came via knockout/technical knockout. That’s exactly what we think he’ll go for in the July 27 fight.

He wants to humiliate Mokaev in front of his crowd in Manchester. It seems that he hates the guy. The two had some arguments on social media, before having a fight at the UFC Performance Institute – Kape headbutted and elbowed Mokaev before the two were separated.

It seems that his beef with the 23-year-old is what’s fueling his motivation ahead of the UFC 304 fight. But does he have the skills necessary to make his plan work?

Muhammad Mokaev vs. Manel Kape Prediction

Our pick is Muhammad Mokaev. There are several reasons for that, starting with the fact that he’s fighting in front of his fans in his hometown of Manchester.

Further, the Mokaev vs. Kape UFC 304 is of extreme importance for him as it could open the door to a championship bout in the near future. Finally, he’s got exactly the skillset that Kape seems vulnerable to. He’s a fantastic wrestler who looks capable of finishing almost anyone on the ground.

Pick: Muhammad Mokaev by submission
