Fisiev named the terms of his return to the octagon

Rafael Fiziev, the UFC's top lightweight, revealed when he plans to return to the octagon.

"I want to come back before the New Year, before the end of this year. The opponent? I don't think about the name, about the place in the rankings. If they give me a debutant, it doesn't matter. I believe in my strength 100%, I'm ready to fight any guy from the top 15. I'm ready for any fight," Fiziev said in an interview with Championship Rounds.

Rafael Fiziev suffered a terrible injury during his fight with Polish lightweight Mateusz Gamrot. "The Ataman" was diagnosed with a complete tear of the cruciate ligament of the knee. The fight took place back in September of last year, ending with the Polish fighter winning by TKO in the second round.
