Muhammad Mokaev says his release from the UFC in 2024 still leaves him searching for answers, despite claiming seven straight wins before being cut. In comments to BBC Sport, the fighter says he is trying to understand the reason for the decision and says he wants to return to the UFC.

The outlets report the same core points: Mokaev’s reaction to his release, his lack of clarity about the UFC’s reasoning, and his stated goal of securing another opportunity with the promotion. While both pieces emphasize his bafflement and future intentions, they mainly reflect the perspective of the fighter rather than provide new details about internal UFC decision-making.
