Quick read

Rafael Fiziev has pushed back on being described as a product of the Kyrgyz martial arts school, stating he considers himself self-made. Fiziev also argued that Valentina Shevchenko, who trained in Kyrgyzstan for only five or six years before moving on, should not be considered a product of that system either. He praised several fighters connected to Kyrgyzstan, singling out Razhababli as a phenomenon unlike any other fighter in the world, while noting that Justin Gaethje possesses a similarly rare natural gift.
