Rafael Fiziev recently posed a different challenge to Justin Gaethje and this one is more humorous. He challenges the American to see whose Nose job is better.

Today, Ataman turned to Twitter to announce his new challenge, uploading a side-by-side photo of the two of them with an after photo of the nose surgery. He captions it, “ Perfect timing. Let’s find out who’s nose job is better.”

Justin just underwent surgery since it has been bothering him for years when eating, sleeping, training, or even fighting. The procedure will cure the long-standing damage to his nose, and Gaethje intends to return to the cage as soon as possible.

Fiziev, on the other hand, required surgery following his bout against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC Vegas 58. During his post-fight news conference, the lightweight contender disclosed that his nose was broken in either the first or second round of the bout.

After defeating Rafael dos Anjos, Fiziev referred to the two-time championship contender. It was a genuine call, unlike the one he made to tennis legend Rafael Nadal in the post-fight news conference shortly after his victory.

Fiziev addressed his proposal at the UFC Vegas 58 post-fight press conference, saying, “I want a fight with Gaethje, like for real. Nadal is funny … but Gaethje, if you want to fight, one more guy with yellow hairs, we need to know who’s the best for you and for me.” 

He continued, “If you’re ready, if you’re not scared, if you don’t take s***, let’s go.” This call-out is because Rafael feels Gaethje would be equally as difficult to fight as dos Anjos.
