British UFC fighter of Dagestani origin Muhammad Mokaev, who competes in the flyweight division, spoke about his future opponent American Tim Elliott, whom he will fight on October 21 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) at UFC 294.
Telecomasia.net correspondent quotes Mokaev as saying:
Elliott pokes his opponents in the eyes, holds onto his shorts and gloves. But that worked with older athletes, of Tim's age. But I'm young, he hasn't fought someone as bold as me yet.
Mokaev, 23, had his last fight in March 2023 at UFC 286, defeating Jafel Filho by submission in the third round. He has ten wins and no losses on his record.
Elliott, 36, defeated Victor Altamirano by unanimous decision by judges at UFC on ESPN 46 in June 2023. He has 19 wins and 12 losses on his record.
