Muhammad Mokaev Stops Jorge Calvo in 42 Seconds at WOW 31

The 42-second stoppage on June 6 in Madrid pressed his case for renewed UFC talks with officials.

Overview

  • Mokaev reversed a takedown and finished Jorge Calvo with heavy ground-and-pound in 42 seconds at WOW 31 in Madrid on Saturday, June 6.
  • The win extended Mokaev’s unbeaten professional record to 16-0 and continued a multi-fight finishing streak since his surprise UFC release in 2024.
  • He took the Madrid bout on short notice after a planned May matchup with Adriano Moraes at MVP MMA collapsed because of last-minute visa issues.
  • Immediately after the fight Mokaev posted on X declaring himself the best flyweight and directly appealed to UFC executives to reopen negotiations.
  • A UFC return remains uncertain because of administrative and matchmaking barriers, though fighting on a card with high-profile ownership has increased his public visibility.
