Azerbaijani UFC fighter Rafael Fiziev stated that he is not considering moving from lightweight to featherweight, although he had previously said it was possible.
Idman.biz reports that after a confident victory in the fight against Ignacio Bahamondes at the UFC tournament held in Baku, Fiziev decided to continue his performances in the lightweight division.
"Low Kick MMA" presented Fiziev's words as follows: "I have gained more weight now, my muscles have recovered. After good preparation, my muscles have grown. In this case, I cannot move to featherweight. Lightweight is a good choice for me.
Throughout my career, there have been only one or two fighters who have agreed to fight me. The first is Rafael dos Anjos, the second is Justin Gaethje. I called both of them and they said: "Yes, let's organize this fight." With the others, it has always been like this: I call someone, UFC offers me someone else. I also called Dan Hooker - if he is ready, I am ready to fight. Dariush... I don't know who is without a fight right now. Gamrot... Whoever is ready, if UFC offers it to me, I will fight with great pleasure. But now I cannot name a specific name, for example, I cannot say "look, I want to fight with this one".
