Despite the UFC’s lucrative partnership with leading cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com, there is at least one UFC fighter against the site.
UFC flyweight Muhammad Mokaev recently shared a series of tweets disparaging the crypto exchange site. Mokaev has fought three times in the UFC since his debut in March 2022. At UFC Fight Night 204, “The Punisher” submitted Cody Durden in less than a minute.

The quick debut raised a lot of eyebrows. Since then, the promising grappler from Dagestan has picked up victories over Charles Johnson and Malcolm Gordon. He quickly established a reputation as a prospect in the UFC flyweight division thanks to his high-level wrestling and submission game.
However, Mokaev could end up in hot water due to his statements about the UFC sponsor. Mokaev objected to the site’s recent treatment of users of Russian nationality.
“They rob people” – Muhammad Mokaev on Crypto.com
“The Punisher” began its take on Crypto.com with a serious accusation. Mokaev accused them of theft and urged the site’s investors to withdraw their money as soon as possible.
Never use @cryptocom! They steal from people and if you have money there take it out!

“Never use @cryptocom! They steal from people and if you have money there, take it out!
From there, a Twitter user pointed out that Crypto.com sponsors the UFC. Either way, the Manchester-based fighter doubled down, saying the site had recently locked accounts belonging to Russians.
They rob people, basically if you hold Russian citizenship they lock your account and refuse to return money

“They rob people, basically if you hold Russian citizenship they lock your account and refuse to return the money.”
When another user asked if Mukaev was even allowed to post such things while under contract with the UFC, he simply repeated that he was telling the truth.
I told the truth, if it was false information, it would be false
— Muhammad Mokaev (@muhammadmokaev) January 18, 2023
“I told the truth, if it was false information, it would be false.”
Whether the young flyweight receives a return from the UFC for his comments remains to be seen. He is expected to return to the Octagon at UFC 286.
Do you think Muhammad Mokaev was right to speak out on Crypto.com?
