Muhammad Mokayev gave a characterization of Petr Yan

British fighter Muhammad Mokaev believes Russian Peter Yan is the best boxer in the UFC’s lightweight division.

The Dagestan native, who trains with the former UFC champion at the Tiger Muay Thai Club, said this on social media by posting a joint training video.

“With the best lightweight boxer Peter Yan,” Mokayev wrote.

Muhammad Mokaev, 23, knows no defeats and is riding a five-fight win streak in the UFC, and will have his next fight on March 2 at UFC Fight Night 238 in Riyadh against former UFC flyweight title challenger Alex Perez.

Peter Yan, 30, will return to the octagon on March 9 at UFC 299 in Miami and will attempt to put his career back on track after three straight losses against China’s Song Yadong.
