The legendary referee appreciated the challenge of Fiziev

John McCarthy, the legendary referee, appreciated the challenge that Rafael Fiziev threw Justin Gaethje.

“I liked this statement, it was the perfect challenge. Just think - could it have been better formulated? 'I'm ready for fair competition, unless you're worried about my skills making it unfair'. How can you not like it? It was one of the best messages ever! I was delighted. Of course, for Fiziev, this is just an ideal match, because the opponent will not try to transfer him and will fight in a standing position.

It is worth noting that at the moment, Gaethje is ignoring calls from Fiziev.
