Former UFC flyweight Muhammad Mokaev was involved in a severe car accident in Dagestan on August 22 near the Khasavyurt-Kizlyar highway, narrowly escaping serious injury. His Mercedes-AMG A35 veered into a ditch, and despite extensive damage, both he and his friend were pulled out safely by onlookers. Mokaev later reassured fans on social media of his well-being. The accident follows his recent departure from the UFC amid contract controversies. While some MMA fans reacted insensitively online, many expressed relief and support for his recovery. The exact cause of the accident remains unclear, and Mokaev has yet to announce his next professional steps.
