Quick read

Rafael Fiziev has stated that he does not consider himself a product of the Kyrgyz martial arts school, saying he is self-made. He also argued that Valentina Shevchenko, who trained in Kyrgyzstan for only five or six years before moving abroad, should not be classified as a product of that system either. Fiziev praised fellow fighters Rajabaali and Oralbay as genuine phenomena while discussing the rise of Kyrgyz MMA talent.
