Rafael Fiziev vs Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC Vegas 58
Rafael Fiziev just secured the biggest win of his career by knocking out a former world champion in Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC Vegas 58. It was in the early seconds of the last round when Fiziev landed a devastating hook that rocked Dos Anjos. Besides his hilarious callout of Rafael Nadal to figure out who is the “best Rafael” in all of the sports, Fiziev has seriously called out former interim UFC Lightweight champion Justin Gaethje for his next fight.
Fiziev is now 12-1 in his overall MMA career with 8 wins by knockout and 1 submission. Other highlights of the fight card headlined by Fiziev and Dos Anjos included the robbery in Michael Johnson’s fight against Jamie Mullarkey in which the MMA community unanimously thought Johnson won the fight but the decision win was handed to Mullarkey. Firas Zahabi’s brother Aiemann Zahabi won the fight and the Twitter community started congratulating Ariel Helwani for the fighter does look like the veteran sports journalist.
