Quick read

Rafael Fiziev has rejected being labelled a product of the Kyrgyz martial arts school, stating he considers himself self-made. He also argued that Valentina Shevchenko, who trained in Kyrgyzstan for five to six years before travelling the world, should not be considered a product of that system either. Fiziev praised several Kyrgyz fighters, singling out Razhababli as a phenomenon with a unique, unmatched style, while also offering high praise for Justin Gaethje's unconventional striking ability.
