Rafael Fiziev Rejects Label as Product of Kyrgyz MMA, Praises Rajabaili as a Phenomenon

Rafael Fiziev has pushed back on the notion that he is a product of the Kyrgyz martial arts school, saying he considers himself self-made. He acknowledged the country's rising generation of fighters, singling out Rajabaili as a genuine phenomenon with a 100-percent finish rate and comparing his rare qualities to those of Islam Makhachev, Khabib, Jon Jones, and Justin Gaethje.
