The MMA return of the undefeated flyweight Muhammad Mokaev has been confirmed for BRAVE CF 91 on December 13. In his return to the promotion where he made his pro debut, “The Punisher” will face Luthando Biko at the Khalifa Sports City Arena in Bahrain.
Mokaev was announced to have re-signed with the promotion shortly after his parting of ways with the UFC opened up a lot of questions about his future. He initially left BRAVE with a record of 5-0 before going on to make his UFC debut in March of 2022 in London.
After submitting Cody Durden in less than a minute of being inside the Octagon, it was clear that this incredibly accomplished amateur was going to be one to watch. Subsequent wins over Charles Johnson, Malcolm Gorden, Jafel Filho and Tim Elliott only added to that.
Beating Alex Perez and Manel Kape via decision put him right into the flyweight title picture even if both fights weren’t the most entertaining but his conduct inside the Octagon wasn’t why his UFC career ended as it was still getting started. Dana White announced in his UFC 304 post-fight press conference that the promotion would not be re-signing Mokaev after he fought out of his contract due to the issues he has created outside of the cage.
His next opponent, Biko, will also be making his BRAVE debut having fought the majority of his career in South African promotion, EFC. The 34-year old has a record of 12-3 and is a former EFC flyweight and bantamweight champion.
After leaving that promotion, he has earned back-to-back wins on UAE Warriors and French promotion ARES FC before stepping into the biggest fight of his career to date. BRAVE CF 91 will be the first event in a double-header for the promotion with two events taking place in Bahrain within a few days of one another.
Bantamweight champion Nkosi Ndebele is set to return in the main event on December 13 to defend his title against Nicholas Hwende. Ndebele recently won back-to-back fights against former UFC fighter Jose “Shorty” Torres to close out their trilogy for the 135-pound title.

2 EPIC nights where sport meets entertainment
BRAVE CF is back with the ultimate sportainment homecoming featuring the best fighters in the world, unmatched entertainment, celebrity appearances and more!
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight Muhammad Mokaev competes in his first post-UFC fight next month (Thurs., Dec. 12, 2024) at BRAVE CF 91 against South Africa’s Luthando Biko, which will go down in Khalifa Sports City Arena in Isa Town, Bahrain.
Today (Mon., Nov. 25, 2024), BRAVE CF sent out a press release officially announcing the Flyweight bout.
The announcement of Muhammad Mokaev’s highly anticipated return to the cage at BRAVE CF 91, where he will face South Africa’s Luthando Biko, has once again highlighted the undefeated prodigy’s undeniable star power in the global Flyweight division. A product of the KHK MMA development system, Mokaev’s ability to capture attention was proven yet again as the fight news created a massive buzz across the combat sports world.
The story was first broken by the website “MMA Fighting”, which coincidentally published it just minutes apart from another major Flyweight headline: news involving Demetrious Johnson, widely regarded as the greatest Flyweight of all time. Despite Johnson’s legendary status, Mokaev’s fight announcement outperformed in terms of views and engagement, showcasing his influence among fans and media alike.
Within hours, several other international media outlets had picked up the story, amplifying the buzz around his comeback fight. Metrics tools revealed that searches for Muhammad Mokaev surged back to levels reminiscent of his widely celebrated re-signing with BRAVE CF.
I’m still a fan. He’ll mature and be back hopefully.

He’ll be back in the UFC. His fights suck dick but dude is mad talented. Hopefully he gets his shit together and also can fight more aggressive with his wrestling style. Bro should be smashing his opponents like Khabib rather than holding his opponents down and stalling. Fans wouldn’t hate him so much if he was more exciting.

I don’t get too invested in their personal beliefs, I just want to see the best guys fighting each other.
I root for guys like Sean Strickland, Colby, and Bryce Mitchell though. The patriotic fighters who are proud to rep USA are my favorites.
