Muhammad Mokaev moved to 7-0 in the octagon with his win at UFC 304, but it appears that will serve as his final appearance in the organization. Following a decision victory over Manel Kape on Saturday, Mokaev revealed that his UFC contract was completed and he hoped to get a new deal done. He claimed his performance against Kape would likely determine his future, and that UFC executives told him “they don’t want to see me keep shooting and take somebody down.”

This is the UFC 304 live blog for Arnold Allen vs. Giga Chikadze, the main card featherweight fight on Saturday in Manchester, England. As a UFC fighter since 2015, for most of his career the biggest problem Allen had was getting into the cage consistently. Numerous injuries kept Allen from competing more than once a year for several years, slowing his rise to a title shot. Allen finally appeared to be on the cusp of one in 2023, but back-to-back losses to Max Holloway and Movsar Evloev sent “Almighty” back to the drawing board. A win over Chikadze is the first step for Allen to get back into the title picture.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Paddy Pimblett has done nothing but win since first arriving in UFC, but that doesn’t mean he’s being lauded as the next big thing in the lightweight division. Always outspoken with a rabid fan base supporting him, the 29-year-old scouser constantly touts himself as a future UFC champion, but his sample size against the best fighters in the world is simply too small to really know his ceiling right now. Pimblett has a chance to advance his agenda on Saturday when he faces veteran lightweight King Green in a featured bout on the UFC 304 main card.

Manel Kape is calling foul on his loss to Muhammad Mokaev at UFC 304. While an argument could be made that Kape potentially deserved a decision win over Mokaev in a largely uneventful three-round fight, his beef isn’t with the judges, but rather a submission he applied while defending a takedown. In a pair of videos posted to Twitter on Monday, Kape showed off his submission attempt while claiming that Mokaev tapped out but the referee didn’t call it.
