Azerbaijani MMA fighter Rafael Fiziev shared his impressions ahead of the fight in Baku as part of the "UFC Fight Night" series.
Idman.biz reports that he was a guest of the "Podkat" project.
Fiziev noted that the octagon cage where fighters appear is closed in the same way, regardless of where the tournament is held – the main thing is to emerge from there as a winner with blood and sweat.
He also emphasized that he does not feel any pressure before the fight. On the contrary, the main factor that motivates him is to fight within his native walls, in front of his native audience, in a place where many close friends and relatives are.
It should be noted that on June 21, Fiziev will fight Chilean Ignacio Bahamondes. On the same evening, Azerbaijan will also be represented by two more fighters - Tofig Musayev and Nazim Sadykhov.
