Mokaev Accuses UFC of Sabotaging Basharat's Career After Release

Former UFC bantamweight Muhammad Mokaev publicly criticized the organization and CEO Dana White for allegedly damaging the reputation of released fighter Farid Basharat. Mokaev, who was also released by the UFC in 2024 despite being undefeated, argued that the promotion should not create negative narratives about fighters they cut, as it hinders their ability to secure contracts elsewhere. This follows Basharat's departure in July 2026 after a 7-0 run in the promotion, which White attributed to off-cage issues rather than performance.

UFC CEO Dana White Cites 'Behind-the-Scenes' Issues for Releasing Undefeated Bantamweight Farid Basharat

UFC CEO Dana White confirmed that undefeated bantamweight Farid Basharat was not re-signed due to off-cage behavior, not performance. Basharat, who holds a 16-0 record with seven UFC wins, became a free agent after his contract expired. White stated that matchmakers often reject fighters who are difficult to deal with or refuse fights, despite their winning streaks. Basharat previously claimed the UFC's direction had changed, while critics noted his lack of finishes. This follows a similar release of his brother, Javid Basharat, earlier this year.
