Rafael Fiziev, a top UFC lightweight, spoke about the level of boxing of the organization’s current champion in this division Islam Makhacheva. Fiziev categorically disagrees with the fact that Makhachev has the best boxing in the lightweight division.

“Islam, of course, has gained a lot in stand-up over the last couple of years, but he’s still not a boxer. Do I agree with the statement that Islam has the best lightweight boxing right now? Does Makhachev have the best boxing in the lightweight division? Of course not. Who? If it’s purely boxing, so that they fight in boxing... Wearing MMA gloves? Poirier, I think,” Fiziev said.

Let us remind you that earlier Dan Hooker announced his readiness to fight with Fiziev.
