Quick read
Rafael Fiziev has disclosed that he lost functional use of his left eye after the first round at UFC Baku, seeing triple or quadruple whenever he opened it. Sitting in his corner between rounds, he decided a spinning heel kick — a strike that requires minimal visual tracking — was his best option to open the second. Fiziev confirmed he would not have thrown the kick under normal circumstances, but the eye problem drove the decision that led to his knockout finish.
