Muhammad Mokaev has sent another message to Dana White after being brutally cut from the UFC immediately after his latest victory.

British fighter Mokaev extended his unbeaten run with a unanimous decision victory against Manel Kape in their flyweight bout at UFC 304 at Co-op Live in Manchester, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

There was bad blood in the build-up to the fight, with Russia-born Mokaev attacking Kape at the fighters' hotel ahead of the event.

Mokaev's victory takes him to seven consecutive wins in the UFC and an overall professional record of 13-0.

But in a shock move, Mokaev was cut from the promotion by UFC boss White during his post-event press conference.

Explaining his decision, White said: "The matchmakers aren't big fans of his for many different reasons, and not just because [of his fighting style]... there's a lot of people who shoot takedowns in this in this business.

"There are a lot of guys that fight with that type of style, but it's a lot more than just that. He's not under contract anymore. I think the PFL is going to get a great, undefeated guy. Good luck to him."

Mokaev took to X to send a message to his supporters after White's controversial decision.

He posted: "Allah gives me power in every situation in my life! Alhamdulillah."

"Thank you to all my true fans that supported me from the beginning! I see you all," he later added.

Mokaev took to social media again a few hours later, seemingly sending a message to both White and any rival promoters who may be considering signing him following his release from the UFC.

He posted his full MMA record including his time in the amateur ranks.

"Undefeated. 37 fight winning streak," he posted, before listing his best wins.

"Tim Elliot (Top 10). Manel Kape (Top 10). Alex Perez (Top 10). Jafel Filho. Cody Durden (Top 15). Charles Johnson. Malcom Gordon."

While some fans labelled Mokaev "boring" in their replies to the post, others gave their support the fighter following his release from the UFC.

"Yet Dana still won't renew your contract. That's really disappointing," posted one fan.

While another added: "Dana did you dirty."
