Muhammad Mokaev hasn’t been on the UFC’s active roster in close to a year’s time At UFC 317 , Alexandre Pantoja dominated City Kickboxing’s Kai Kara-France, securing his fourth title defense. His reign, though impressively dominant, lacks well-rounded opposition, with most challengers being primarily strikers who have shown little to no ability to stop the champion’s grappling threat. With Joshua Van next, the division risks repetition, as he poses similar striking threats to those of his previous opponents. Should Pantoja defeat Van, reinstating Muhammad Mokaev, a disgraced yet versatile flyweight, could deliver the well-rounded challenge needed to test the champion.
