We consider the focusing modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (mZK) equation in two space dimensions. We prove that solutions which blow up in finite time in the H1(\R2) norm have the property that they concentrate a non-trivial portion of their mass (more precisely, at least the amount equal to the mass of the ground state) at blow-up time. For finite-time blow-up solutions in the Hs(\R2) norm for (17)/(18) < s < 1, we prove a slightly weaker result. Moreover, we prove that the stronger concentration result can be extended to the range (17)/(18) < s ≤ 1 under an additional assumption on the upper bound of the blow-up rate of the solution. The main tools used here are the I-method and a profile decomposition theorem for a bounded family of H1(\R2) functions.
