Rafael Fiziev has pushed back on being called a product of the Kyrgyzstan combat sports school, stating he is self-made and crediting no national system for his development. Speaking ahead of UFC Baku, Fiziev also praised fellow fighters Razhababli and Justin Gaethje as rare, God-given talents, noting that Gaethje's unconventional striking dismantled Topuria in a way few could have predicted.
