“I was never a fan of yours because we have different styles. We have great different styles. I'm a striker and he's a fighter. In wrestling, he is very tough and you can win against everyone with the fight Khabib has, but I don't like this style. I don't like fights like when Islam makhachev fought with Drew dober (do not UFC 259). Three rounds of wrestling and nothing to show for it. He submitted the submission but it was a boring fight”, provoked Fiziev.

Promise in the lightweight division, Rafael suffered just one defeat in five fights for the UFC and has been riding on four consecutive victories. The 28-year-old athlete has a record in the sport of 10 positive results and one negative result.
