Quick read

Rafael Fiziev has pushed back on being called a product of the Kyrgyz martial arts school, stating he considers himself self-made and pointing out that Valentina Shevchenko also developed her career internationally rather than solely in Kyrgyzstan. Fiziev praised Rajabalikhan Magomedov as a once-in-a-generation phenomenon, noting his 100-percent finish rate, and drew comparisons to the exceptional natural gifts possessed by fighters like Justin Gaethje, Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Jon Jones.
