Quick read
Rafael Fiziev has rejected the notion that he is a product of the Kyrgyz martial arts school, saying he considers himself self-made. He extended the same assessment to Valentina Shevchenko, noting she trained in Kyrgyzstan for only five or six years before moving on and working with coach Pavel Fedotov, whose methods were rooted in Korean taekwondo. Fiziev praised Kyrgyz fighters Radjabali and Oralbay as genuine phenomena, calling Radjabali unique in the world for finishing all of his opponents, while reserving special admiration for Justin Gaethje's unorthodox but devastating striking.
