Muhammad Mokaev offers $10,000 from his purse as he pursues Alex Perez 

It looks like Muhammad Mokaev is all gas and no breaks when it comes to his MMA career. Although the undefeated UFC prospect is ranked No.14 in the flyweight division, he hopes to take on the No.6-ranked Alex Perez in his next fight.

The American's would-be next fight against former interim flyweight challenger Kai Kara France at UFC 284 came under jeopardy as the New Zealander was forced out of the event due to an injury.

Mokaev took the chance to call out the No.6-ranked contender. In a recent tweet, the Russian-born English UFC athlete revealed that he was ready to pay Alex Perez $10,000 from his own fight purse if the American stepped into the octagon to face him:

"I’m willing to give Alex Perez $10,000 if he accepts this fight and turn up to the event! Unfortunately, my payment [is] not as high, I’m on $16,000 at the moment but I’m here to make a history!"

Since signing with the premier MMA promotion earlier this march, 'The Punisher' has racked up three back-to-back victories. The 22-year-old holds an impressive pro record of nine wins. His amateur career is also spotless, with 23 straight wins.

The more experienced Alex Perez holds a pro record of 24-7. However, the fighter is 6-3 in the UFC and is currently on a two-fight skid. In both his last octagon outings, the 30-year-old suffered first-round submission losses.

When Muhammad Mokaev said Paddy Pimblett is not a good role model for UK's young generation

During the post-fight press conference at UFC Fight Night 208, surging flyweight contender Muhammad Mokaev opined that the highly popular Paddy Pimblett was a very bad role model for the UK's youngsters.

The Russian-born English athlete criticized 'The Baddy' for his lack of discipline and predicted that the scouser will never break into the lightweight top 15:

"This guy [will] never ever reach [the] top 15... I don't think he is a great role model for young guys... The man puts [his] pants down, gets fat, drinks beer like an animal... Men in Liverpool... I know real scouse people, they don't do stuff like this you know... I'm no hater I just want to see [the] younger generation follow real men."

The 22-year-old added that fighters like Leon Edwards, Tom Aspinall, and Arnold Allen were much better role models for UK's young fans.
