Dmitriy Kel Sept. 16, 2023, 10:46 a.m.

Azerbaijani UFC lightweight Rafael Fiziev spoke about joint training with the undefeated Swede Khamzat Chimaev in Thailand.

“We sparred at the Tiger Muay Thai gym. I trained with him quite a bit - just one round of MMA. He didn’t want to fight me because he wanted to practice his striking. But we still struggled a little.

He's very tough. Khamzat is tough in striking, but in wrestling he is much tougher,” Sporstkeeda quotes Fiziev.
