Quick read
Rafael Fiziev has pushed back on being described as a product of the Kyrgyz combat sports school, saying he considers himself self-made. He also argued that Valentina Shevchenko, who trained in Kyrgyzstan for only five or six years before moving abroad, should not be categorized as a graduate of that system either. Fiziev did praise several Kyrgyz fighters, singling out Razhababli as a phenomenon with a unique talent comparable to Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Justin Gaethje.
