Quick read
Rafael Fiziev has distanced himself from any association with Kyrgyz MMA, saying he considers himself self-taught and does not regard Valentina Shevchenko as a product of the country's fighting system either. He praised Kyrgyz fighters Rajabali and Orolbai as genuine phenomena, comparing Rajabali's finishing ability to the rare gifts shared by fighters like Islam Makhachev, Khabib, and Jon Jones. Fiziev also credited Justin Gaethje's unique striking mechanics, noting that even Topuria was bemused before being hit by them.
