MMA fans have reacted to the news that UFC flyweight Muhammad Mokaev has split from Conor McGregor's Paradigm Sports management.

The Russian-born Englishman is currently No.14 in the flyweight rankings and has yet to taste defeat in both his amateur (23-0) and professional MMA careers. The 22-year-old is 9-0 as a pro, including three straight wins in the UFC since his debut back in March, earning himself one Performance of the Night bonus.

'The Punisher' recently wrote on Twitter:

"I’m changing my management company, thank you @ParadigmSports. We had great times I wish you all the best!"

Fans have reacted to the news by suggesting that Mokaev may find more success under Ali Abdelaziz's Dominance MMA Management:

"You made the right decision to leave them, Ali is the [GOAT] manager and can speedrun you a titleshot"

Another fan suggested the 22-year-old take his time looking for new representation instead of jumping at the chance to sign with Abdelaziz:

"Do whats best for your career akhi. Don't feel pressured to join Ali"

Twitter user @MMAFERGUSON1 echoed some fans' thoughts by asking Muhammad Mokaev to remember that he's still young and has many years left in the sport:

"The right fit for both [parties] matter[s] take your time and make sure you feel comfortable you are young [and] have years in the sport left to get the right manager for you"

Ali Abdelaziz confident Justin Gaethje would put Conor McGregor in a "wheelchair"

Ali Abdelaziz has been campaigning for Justin Gaethje to face Conor McGregor when the Irishman returns to the octagon next year.

Abelaziz and McGregor have a heated rivalry which dates back to Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018. The 'Notorious' star spent much of the fight build-up taking shots at both the Russian fighter and his manager.

In a recent interview with The Schmo, the Dominance MMA CEO stated that he wants to see 'The Highlight' recover from his loss against Charles Oliviera by putting Conor McGregor in a wheelchair:

"I would like to see Justin Gaetje destroy Conor McGregor and put him in a wheelchair. I would love to see that... Any weight. He can take all the steroids he wants, he can take all the juice. EPO and everything. Whatever he want to take, he can take. I would like to see this fight but we know he doesn't like to fight anymore. He wants easy fights. He's probably not going to fight Justin Gaethje."
