Muhammad Mokaev books fight in Topuria's WOW FC days after MVP MMA withdrawal
Muhammad Mokaev quickly found himself another fight after being forced out of his fight on the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano event.
Mokaev (15-0) was scheduled to face former ONE Championship title holder Adriano Moraes on Saturday's MVP MMA card (Netflix) at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., but visa issues forced him to withdraw.

Now Mokaev will take on Jorge Calvo (20-7) in a bantamweight bout at WOW 31 on June 6 from Madrid Arena in Spain, promotion officials announced Wednesday morning. ABC MMA first reported the news.
Since parting ways with the UFC in 2024, Mokaev is 3-0, including capturing the inaugural Brave CF flyweight title last November. His opponent, Calvo, was on an eight-fight winning streak before losing his Lux Fight League flyweight title in February.
