The Mig-2000 was the product of a USAF design study in the 1980s, which was designed to predict the attributes a Soviet 5th Generation Air Superiority Fighter would have.
As you can see by the result, they got it wrong.
It *does* bear a superficial resemblance to the Mig 1.44 MFI, but the fuselage fairing, wings, vertical stabilizers, LERX, and engines are completely different.
No matter, though --- it's a MUCH more compelling "threat" to drive funding for the Advanced Tactical Fighter Program than ACTUAL Soviet aircraft!
And in case you're wondering how this airframe would perform (assuming it existed, and met the designers' specifications), here are the specs (some of which I had to estimate) for the Mig-2000;
