Mokaev wins by submission in the first round

Early in the fight, So, who accepted the fight with just two days' notice, exchanged blows on the feet with the former UFC fighter. However, Mokaev anticipated the fight, took the fight to the ground and, after landing strong ground and pound blows, finished the fight with an arm triangle choke halfway through the first round.

After the victory, Muhammad Mokaev stated that he can beat any fighter in the flyweight category and guaranteed that he will be the best fighter in the world.

“I’m ready for everyone in this division. I’m going to be the best pound-for-pound and the best flyweight in the world. They can deny it, but they can’t hide it. And I’m going to take on everyone in the 57-pound division. I’m the best flyweight in the world,” Mokaev said in the post-fight interview.
