UFC fighter Mokaev says he moved to the UK as a refugee at age 12
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Muhammad Mokaev, who moved from Dagestan, described life in the UK in an interview with the Title Sports Network YouTube channel.
The athlete said he moved to England with his family as a refugee at the age of 12. “I had virtually nothing. Now I have a house, I have a car, I have everything. I have a wonderful family,” the fighter said, adding that he has not changed despite his success.
At the age of 12, Mokaev and his father emigrated from the Dagestani city of Buinaksk to the UK. He has 13 mixed martial arts (MMA) fights to his credit, winning 12 of them. One fight with his participation did not take place.
Swimmer Tatyana Belonogoff, who previously competed for Great Britain, revealed the reason for moving to Russia. The athlete said that she was treated badly in Great Britain, and this was another reason for moving to Russia.
