Conor McGregor has shared a damning four-word statement on social media in response to Dana White brutally releasing Muhammad Mokaev from the UFC.
Mokaev scored a unanimous decision victory over Manel Kape in the early prelims of UFC 304 in Manchester, England, last weekend.
It turned out to be his seventh and final bout inside the famed Octagon as White ruthlessly cut him from the roster as the undefeated fighter came to the end of his deal.
Speaking during his post-fight press conference, the UFC CEO said: "I am sure one of the matchmakers probably said something to him or whatever.

"But yeah, the matchmakers aren’t a big fan of his for many different reasons," he added, before referencing Professional Fighters League (PFL).
"I think the PFL is gonna get a great undefeated guy. Good luck to him."
A couple of days removed from UFC 304, Mokaev took to social media to refute a claim made by a journalist about his UFC release as he pleaded with White to resign him to a new contract.

On X, he wrote: "I turn them all down because UFC gave me the platform to put my name out there and earn money to feed my family! Btw PFL don’t have flyweight division. All these journalists that make this sh*t up are idiots! I hope Dana resigns me, this is my dream to become champion!"
McGregor, who hasn't fought in the UFC since his crushing defeat to Dustin Poirier back in July 2021, has now shared his thoughts on Mokaev's UFC departure.
A video of White's comment was posted on Instagram, with the 'Notorious' replying to the video, writing: "They can have him."
Mokaev will ply his trade away from the UFC, having won seven straight fights since joining the MMA leaders.
