Mokaev had angered the brass by sucker-punching Kape on the fighter lodge earlier within the week after asking him to pose for a photograph.
The 23-year-old claimed within the post-fight press convention the UFC weren’t followers of his wrestling-heavy model.
That prompted White to say: “I’m positive one of many matchmakers in all probability stated one thing to him or no matter.
“However yeah, the matchmakers aren’t a giant fan of his for a lot of completely different causes.”
When pressed additional, the veteran promoter stated: “I believe the PFL is gonna get an important undefeated man. Good luck to him.”
White’s revelation that Mokaev – who’s 7-0 within the octagon – will not be re-signed surprised combat followers around the globe.
However former two-division champion McGregor is seemingly on board with the choice.
Commenting on a video of White confirming Mokaev’s departure, ‘The Infamous’ wrote: “They will have him.”

The UFC have moved shortly with their dismissal of Mokaev, eradicating him from their rankings.
However the Dagestani-born Wigan warrior continues to be holding out hope of penning a brand new cope with the promotion.
‘The Punisher’ wrote on X: “I need to combat for the belt and I hope the UFC give me a brand new contract.
“My contract is completed, you see. I hope they offer me new contract.”
