Fiziev will look to bounce back from his loss against Justin Gaethje at UFC 286. Ahead of his upcoming fight, journalist James Lynch asked Fiziev a question that had a surprising answer.

James Lynch asked Rafael Fiziev who he would like to have dinner with. Fiziev said, “Oh my god bro! That’s bad choice bro, like how I go dinner with some guy. Maybe people start saying like I’m gay bro.” Ultimately, Fiziev had his own reason not to go on dinner with guys. This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. People might get offended, but we must respect the opinion of Fiziev.
