UFC Fight Night 204 video: Muhammad Mokaev takes out Cody Durden in 58 seconds in highly awaited debut
Muhammad Mokaev had big expectations for his UFC debut and he made sure to deliver.
The highly touted flyweight prospect needed less than a minute to lock in his first win under the UFC lights. Mokaev (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) made his UFC debut Saturday in the opening bout of UFC Fight Night 204 in London.
Both Mokaev and Cody Durden (12-4-1 MMA, 1-2-1 UFC) started hot in a high-paced bout. Shortly after the fight started, Mokaev connected a knee on Durden, dropped him, then quickly locked a guillotine and finished the fight shortly after. The official stoppage came at the 0:58 mark of Round 1.

Mokaev is undefeated in his professional MMA career. The 21-year-old made his professional MMA debut in late 2020 on the back of an amateur career where he went 22-0. Mokaev fought amateur for five years, which expanded from 2015 to 2020.
