Fiziev stops opponent with spinning heel kick, calls for BMF title shot

Rafael Fiziev secured a knockout victory with a spinning heel kick, his second such finish in the UFC following earlier wins over Riddell and Torres. Fighting through blurred vision caused by a jab late in the first round, Fiziev adjusted his game plan and landed the decisive strike in the second round against a dangerous opponent with 16 first-round finishes on his record. After the win, Fiziev — emotional and citing the sacred month of Muharram — called out the BMF title as his next goal.
