The UFC has announced it has added highly touted, undefeated flyweight prospect Muhammad Mokaev.

The 21-year-old Mokaev went undefeated in amateur competition and also won two, Gold Medals competing for the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation. The Dagestani fighter, who resides in England, has gone 5-0 to date as a professional.

In a press release from the IMMAF, Mokaev was quoted saying:

“I’m very excited to sign with the UFC. I don’t want to be just a UFC fighter, I want to become the youngest champion in its history. Right now, I’m the youngest fighter on UFC’s roster.

“IMMAF has helped me to prepare myself to this level. I’ve been told it was huge that I had 4 professional fights within 4 months at BRAVE CF, but I have told people that at IMMAF amateur level, we have 4 – 5 fights in 1 week and the opponents aren’t any weaker than professional fighters. I believe that IMMAF is the route to reach the bigger leagues like UFC.”

Mokaev is also a six-time British Wrestling Champion, two-time ADCC British Open gold medallist and a European Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu Champion.

No details regarding Mokaev’s UFC debut have been announced.
