Rafael Fiziev Talks About Fight with Mauricio Ruffy and Height Advantage

Azerbaijani fighter Rafael Fiziev, ranked ninth in the UFC lightweight division, shared his expectations for his next fight.

According to Idman.Biz, Fiziev will face Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 325 in Australia on February 1st.

Asked how much Ruffy has an advantage over the Azerbaijani fighter, Fiziev noted that his opponent has longer arms and is taller than him:

"That's his advantage, but I've been fighting guys like that my whole life. I've never even fought anyone my own height. It's not surprising to me.

What makes him better? He is dangerous in some ways - he is a good counter-striker, has a strong right hand, has good timing and reflexes. But overall, I wouldn't say he is stronger in any way," the athlete said.
