Quick read

Rafael Fiziev has rejected the label of being 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 or six years before moving on, and Murtazali Magomedov, who primarily trains in Dagestan, should not be attributed to that school either. Fiziev praised Radjabali Shaydullaev as a global phenomenon, comparing his unique qualities to those of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Jon Jones.
