Fiziev recalled the defeat from Gaethje: “He ran from me for two rounds”

Azerbaijani UFC lightweight Rafael Fiziev shared his memories of the fight with the former interim division champion Justin Gaethje.

Last March, at the UFC 286 tournament, the American won by unanimous decision.

“Justin ran from me for two rounds! He started interrupting me only after poking me in the eye, because I saw absolutely nothing. I had a large white circle in my right eye the entire fight. I have not seen anything. After that, Justin started to beat well. Besides, in the third round I started to get tired.

But he ran away from me for two rounds! Yes, perhaps my plan for the fight was not the best, and I made a lot of mistakes. But Justin still ran from me,” Fiziev said in an interview with The All Star.
