Muhammad Mokaev secured a unanimous decision victory over Manel Kape at UFC 304, improving his MMA record to 13-0. Despite this win, UFC President Dana White confirmed that Mokaev's contract will not be renewed due to various issues, including his fighting style and multiple altercations outside the cage, notably a brawl with Kape at a hotel. White noted that Mokaev's lack of excitement in the octagon and previous incidents have contributed to the decision. Mokaev's future is uncertain, but he may find opportunities with the Professional Fighters League (PFL). After the announcement, Mokaev expressed gratitude towards his supporters on social media. This situation reflects a growing trend in the UFC where fighters must adapt to the entertainment aspect of the sport to maintain their contracts.
