Overlooked and Unbeaten: Muhammad Mokaev's Silent Dominance

The best undefeated Flyweight in the world, Muhammad Mokaev, is gearing up for another milestone year in his career with BRAVE Combat Federation.

A former multiple-time IMMAF World Champion, Mokaev has been dominating the professional ranks and has amassed a perfect record of 14 wins and no losses at just 24 years old. However, despite his dominance inside the cage, Mokaev remains overlooked by many.

Having started his MMA journey more than a decade ago, Mokaev faced challenges competing in amateur events early in his career due to his refugee status. To support himself, he handed out leaflets to earn money and put food on the table. Yet, all these struggles only fueled his passion for the sport.

Determined to compete whenever possible, Mokaev eventually caught the attention of His Highness Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who invited him to join the KHK MMA team in Bahrain. Under world-class training facilities, Mokaev thrived, became an amateur world champion, and closed out his amateur career undefeated.

Mokaev turned professional soon after, making his debut at BRAVE CF 37 and kick-starting another chapter in his MMA journey. Remaining undefeated in the highly competitive Flyweight division for 14 fights is an impressive achievement, but what truly sets Mokaev apart is his well-rounded skill set inside the cage. Out of his 14 wins, 9 have come via finishes—7 by submission and 2 by knockout. Even more impressive is the variety of ways in which he has finished his opponents. Mokaev has secured victories using a guillotine choke, armbar, rear-naked choke, brabo choke, arm-triangle, neck crank, body kicks, and punches, making him a threat in every aspect.

Now back in BRAVE Combat Federation, where it all began for him, Mokaev is primed to deliver his best performances. Competing in one of the toughest Flyweight divisions in the world, he now has the opportunity to face top-tier opponents.

From being a refugee struggling to make ends meet to becoming one of the best fighters in the world, Mokaev’s journey perfectly reflects the spirit of BRAVE CF’s “Year of The BRAVE.” As 2025 unfolds, it could very well become the biggest year of his career as he chases his dream of becoming an MMA World Champion.
