At UFC 304 in Manchester, Muhammad Mokaev failed to make a significant impact during his fight against Manel Kape, the No. 8 ranked flyweight contender. The lead-up to their highly anticipated match generated much excitement, with many anticipating an electrifying showdown. Interestingly, before the bout, Mokaev and Kape shared pleasantries and even asked for a photo together at their hotel. However, things took an unexpected turn when Mokaev claimed that he struck Kape following what he described as a head-butting altercation initiated by Kape during his previous fight against Alex Perez in Las Vegas.
