971 Fighting Championship is back this summer, bringing a stacked MMA lineup to the Coca-Cola Arena on the 14th of June.

Get ready for one of the biggest fight nights the region has seen, this event is poised to make waves both in the Middle East and internationally.

Topping the card is an explosive bantamweight main event between undefeated standout Muhammad “The Punisher” Mokaev (14-0, 1 NC) and Kazakhstan’s Alisher Gabdullin (15-4), a tough, experienced fighter known for his aggressive striking.

 

Mokaev, who’s made a name for himself with Olympic-caliber wrestling and sharp grappling, comes to Dubai riding an unbeaten streak — but Gabdullin, with 15 wins and relentless pressure, is ready to test him like never before.

This matchup is more than just a contest of records — it’s a true meeting of styles and backgrounds, set inside one of the UAE’s most iconic arenas. Led by founder Mounir Lazzez, 971FC continues to elevate the sport regionally, pairing top-tier fights with a growing sense of storytelling and identity.

With 14 bouts on the night featuring a mix of rising local names and international talent, fans are in for a full evening of action that highlights how far MMA has come in the UAE — and where it’s headed next.
