Fiziev responded to Makhachev’s criticism: “Nothing from him can hurt me”

Alexandr Ormanji Sept. 19, 2023, 4:38 p.m.

Rafael Fiziev, a top UFC lightweight, responded to the words of the organization’s champion in this weight Islam Makhacheva that Rafael will never enter the top three of the lightweight division and will lose to any great wrestler.

“Nothing from him can hurt me, because I don’t expect anything from him. We can listen to him because he is a champion, he is a man who has proven everything to many. Now I will fight with Gamrot, with a grappler, with an elite level wrestler. I myself am wondering if I can stop him, if I can stop a fight of this level. If we stop, we will show the same Islam that I can fight, I can stop the guys with a good fight. Although I had Moicano with good grappling, he also “went to bed,” Fiziev said.

Let us remind you that the fight between Fiziev and Gamrot will take place on Sunday, September 24.
