Muhammad Mokaev is now BRAVE CF flyweight champion.
The 25 year-old “Punisher” popped and dropped Gerard Burns to capture the 125-pound crown at BRAVE Combat Federation 100 earlier today in Khalifa Sports City Arena in Bahrain.
Wait, isn’t Mokaev supposed to be a “very boring fighter?”
“He’s a good, classy fighter, don’t get me wrong, he’s a winner,” Burns told MMA Fighting before the bout. “His record speaks for itself. He knows how to win fights. He’s obviously been sacked from the UFC for being a very boring fighter. I don’t think he’s been in many fights, to be totally honest. He’s been in plenty of martial arts competitions, matches, but he’s never been in a fight.”
With the stoppage over Burns, Mokaev (16-0, 1 NC) has now registered 10 finishes in 16 wins.
