Justin Gaethje becomes hero in Kyrgyzstan after destroying Azerbaijani Rafael Fiziev in electric fight

Justin Gaethje has gained a tremendous following and emerged as a beloved figure in Kyrgyzstan following his sensational victory over Rafael Fiziev, an Azerbaijani fighter. Ever since Gaethje‘s remarkable win, Kyrgyz fans have inundated his Instagram account with messages of support and adoration.

Their paths collided at UFC 286 in March, where Gaethje and Fiziev engaged in a thrilling showdown. The event was packed with electrifying action from the opening bell to the final moments. ‘The Highlight’ demonstrated his exceptional skills and determination, ultimately prevailing with a unanimous decision victory that resonated deeply with the people of Kyrgyzstan.

Interestingly, the origin story of Rafael Fiziev adds an intriguing dimension to this tale. Although Fiziev moved to Kyrgyzstan as a child alongside his parents, he later relocated to Azerbaijan and became a citizen there. This change in allegiance caused the Kyrgyz public to harbor a strong disdain for Fiziev, further amplifying the significance of Gaethje’s triumph over him.

Gaethje’s Instagram account was flooded with expressions of love from Kyrgyzstan after his stunning victory. Gaethje’s triumph gave comfort and pride to the people of the country and made him a beloved hero in their eyes.
