UFC: Makhmud Muradov’s second UFC bout

Makhmud Muradov is the first MMA fighter to be managed by undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather’s ‘Money Team’ and he is confident to win his second UFC fight just like he won the first one. Muradov made his UFC debut at UFC on ESPN+18 and after a three-round war with Italy’s Alessio Di Chirico, Muradov got a thumbs up from all three judges of the match. The win at UFC on ESPN+128 was his 12th straight victory, a winning streak that started in December 2016. Currently, Makhmud has an MMA record of 23-6 and 1-0 in the UFC.

Makhmud’s upcoming fight is going to determine the youngster’s future in the UFC along with Floyd Mayweather's name in the MMA universe. The undefeated boxer has never stepped inside an MMA Octagon, despite several callouts. However, the name Floyd ’Money’ Mayweather is still relevant in the fight game through his team member’s performances.
