Muhammad Mokaev Says Manel and Charles Johnson Are Tougher Tests for Alexandre Pantoja

Former undefeated UFC star Mokaev believes flyweight champion Pantoja’s next challenger, #1-ranked Joshua Van (15-2), isn’t his toughest test. “I’d say Manel Kape and Charles Johnson, they’re more experienced,” Mokaev said. Having beaten both, he argued their styles pose greater threats to the champion, noting Kape already pushed Pantoja in a close fight ahead of the UFC 323 title defense.
