I want to be the youngest UFC champion - MokaevFor mixed martial arts prospect Muhammad Mokaev, comparisons with UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov have been inevitable. Eight years on, he has Bahraini royalty in his corner and the MMA world at his feet. A two-time amateur world champion, he will make his professional debut with Brave Combat Federation in Sweden on Saturday. "I want to be the youngest UFC champion ever," he tells BBC Sport. Jon Jones became the youngest UFC champion in 2011, when at 23 years and 242 days he claimed the light-heavyweight title he still holds today.
