Muhammad Mokaev has broken his silence following a humbling defeat to Arman Tsarukyan in Brazil, where the Armenian fighter choked him unconscious during their bout. The undefeated Brave CF flyweight champion has now vowed never to make such a dramatic weight jump again after experiencing the consequences firsthand.
The British-born fighter, who had been riding an impressive winning streak, found himself completely outmatched when he stepped up to face Tsarukyan. The submission loss marked a significant learning moment in Mokaev's career, forcing him to reassess his approach to weight management and opponent selection.
Speaking after the fight, Mokaev acknowledged the stark reality of moving up weight classes without proper preparation. The defeat has clearly impacted the young fighter's perspective on his career trajectory and future fight planning.
Despite this setback, Mokaev remains focused on returning to his natural flyweight division where he has dominated competition. The experience, while painful, may prove valuable as he continues to develop his skills and build toward potential opportunities in major promotions.
